Introduction:

The Huntingtower Hotel has a long-established reputation as Perth’s principal hotel. The authentic country house hotel, located in its own private grounds of close to 5 acres, is an ideal setting for weddings, meetings and conferences, as well being a popular leisure break destination.

The original property, with its Tudor style façade, has been restored and upgraded to modern standards, and in the 1990s the hotel was substantially extended with a new bedroom wing and function suite. Historically, planning consent was granted for an additional 28 bedrooms and a full spa, leisure and fitness centre. This consent has now expired and would need to be re-applied for, however, the completion of this development would take the Huntingtower Hotel into a new era and reinforce it’s status as Perth’s premier hotel.

Location:

Perth is located at Scotland's “crossroads”, with a number of motorways and A roads passing through or close to the city, meaning a hotel here has huge appeal to a large section of Scotland's population for commercial, private or leisure uses. The city of Perth itself has benefitted from a great deal of inward investment in recent years. From the new Horsecross conference centre and concert hall to investment in the city hall, theatre and museum planned to attract further inward tourism to the area. Aside from the city, the area is home to a number of other attractions and events including Huntingtower Castle and Scone Palace, Perth Racecourse, the Scottish Game Fair, fishing, golf and further, the aesthetic beauty of the landscape and many historic castles and other features all add to the appeal of Perth and Perthshire.

The Property:

The original Tudor style mansion house at the Huntingtower Hotel dates from the late 19th century since which time the property has been significantly altered and extended to provide accommodation on 3 main levels. From the public road, the hotel’s private driveway leads through wooded and lawned grounds to the front of the property and beyond to the main car park.

Public Areas:

From the car parking at the front of the property, the hotel’s main entrance leads via a vestibule with seating area to the Reception Foyer which has lounge seating and reception counter. From the foyer there is access to the Inner Hall where there is another attractive wood panelled lounge area with an open fireplace. From the hallway there is direct access to the Cocktail Bar (30 pax) with timber bar servery and excellent views over the front of the hotel.
