Fonab Castle - Scotland’s most exciting hotel opening in 2013

The Perthshire Highlands are set for an exciting addition in May 2013, when Fonab Castle Hotel in Pitlochry opens its doors.

A five star (grading pending), traditional castle hotel, Fonab is nestled on the banks of Loch Faskally amidst breath taking highland scenery. The hotel will have a total of 26 rooms housed in the castle as well as in a tasteful modern annex. Most of the modern rooms boast direct access to the lochside.

At the heart of the castle accommodation is the bridal suite featuring a luxurious, oversized bed and a vaulted ceiling as well as a separate luxury bathroom and walk-in shower.

Fonab Castle Hotel will feature eight rustic, yet luxurious lodges and have private hot tubs within its extensive grounds. More lodges are planned for the future.

Originally built for the Sandeman family, the port and sherry merchants, the hotel is aiming at five star level and will feature a panoramic, glass fronted restaurant with stunning loch views, serving delicious, locally and internationally inspired dishes in a stylish, yet casual setting.

Additional facilities include heated and air-conditioned dog kennels, and a destination spa – complete with treatment rooms, gym and pool - all set to open later in 2013.
