We have some wonderful news to share. In October, Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa was crowned Scotland’s Leading Hotel at the 2026 World Travel Awards.

 For our team at Loch Fyne, it’s a proud moment, and one we couldn’t have reached without our incredible team and the guests who choose to stay with us.

What this award means to us

To be shortlisted alongside some of Scotland’s finest hotels was an honour in itself, so winning it feels a little surreal.

Our General Manager, Niall O’Shaughnessy, puts it best: “The World Travel Awards brand is recognised worldwide as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence, so I’m thrilled my team’s hard work has paid off."

"We are committed to creating exceptional experiences for every guest who walks through our doors, and this achievement reflects the care and attention my colleagues bring to everything they do."

"I would like to thank my team for their continued commitment, as well as our guests for their ongoing support. This award is a fantastic milestone for the hotel, and we look forward to building on this success."

What is the World Travel Awards?

Established in 1993, the World Travel Awards exists to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across every key sector of the global travel, tourism and hospitality industries. It’s recognised around the world as a benchmark of quality, which is why this win means so much to us.

What makes Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa special?

As Inveraray’s only four-star hotel, we’re proud to offer a very special place to stay on the West Coast of Scotland. Here’s a little taste of what awaits you:

A relaxing spa escape at Shore Spa. In recent years we’ve invested £765,000 in our spa and leisure facilities, as part of a wider multi-million-pound investment across Crerar Hotels Group. The result is our luxury Shore Spa, the perfect place for a tranquil break. Shore Spa is a place to refresh your body, mind & soul with our Spa Breaks, Spa Days & Treatments.

Comfortable rooms and suites. After a day exploring Argyll, unwind in our luxurious rooms and suites.

Exceptional dining at Cladach Mòr Bistro. Our AA Rosette-awarded bistro is a favourite with hotel guests and locals alike. Our location provides the finest examples of Scotland’s larder, from world famous seafood to locally reared livestock and game which you can experience while dining with us. 

A perfect base for exploring. Whether you’re here for a spa weekend or touring the West Coast, Inveraray makes a wonderful starting point.
