Located on the shores of Loch Leven in North Ballachulish, the Loch Leven Hotel offers visitors a blend of historic charm and contemporary hospitality in the Scottish Highlands. With origins dating back to the 19th century, and links to an earlier coaching inn and ferry stop, the hotel has long served as a gateway for travelers exploring Glencoe and its surrounding outdoor attractions.
The hotel combines its rich heritage with modern amenities, providing guests with comfortable accommodation, locally inspired dining options, and a warm Highland welcome. Set against dramatic mountain vistas, it functions as an ideal base for a diverse range of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, mountaineering, golf, scuba diving, boating, kayaking, fishing, and cycling. The proximity to well-known landmarks such as the Glencoe trails and the Ben Nevis mountain range further enhances its appeal to adventure enthusiasts.
An integral feature of the hotel is the on-site Pixel Spirits Distillery, which produces a variety of small-batch, handcrafted spirits rooted in Highland tradition. The distillery’s portfolio includes the award-winning Devil’s Staircase Highland Spiced Gin, alongside other signature gins, flavoured variants, and craft vodkas crafted from locally sourced botanicals and ingredients. Visitors have the opportunity to tour the distillery, participate in gin tastings, and attend the Gin School, where guests can create and distill their own bottles of gin or rum.
Beyond leisure tourism, the Loch Leven Hotel has positioned itself as a sought-after venue for intimate weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events. Its scenic location by Loch Leven, coupled with bespoke catering and tailored services, provides a distinctive setting for gatherings ranging from elopements to business retreats and team-building activities.
The hotel operates under White Stag Hospitality, a growing hospitality group founded by Anoop and Geena, a husband-and-wife team devoted to delivering high-quality guest experiences while honoring the Scottish Highlands’ heritage and natural beauty.
As tourism in Glencoe continues to expand, the Loch Leven Hotel aims to preserve its historic identity while embracing innovation and excellence in craft distilling and hospitality services, maintaining its status as a landmark destination in the region.
