The Isle of Skye's Best Hotels
A guide to the Isle of Skye's best hotels, each with comfort, charm and local character.
Curated and written by Hidden Scotland
Across the Isle of Skye.
The Isle of Skye is a landscape carved by time, where jagged peaks and sweeping glens meet endless skies and shifting seas. Every bend in the road brings a new view.
To help you choose, we’ve gathered the island's best hotels, each with its own character and its own place in the landscape. From the coastal elegance of Coruisk House and the historic charm of Monkstadt 1745, to the modern sophistication of Portree’s Marmalade Hotel, there’s a place to suit every traveller’s taste and itinerary.
Among the standout choices is the Cuillin Hills Hotel, perched above Portree with commanding views of the bay and the rugged Cuillin mountains. It has Highland warmth, luxurious touches and a restaurant that makes the most of local produce.
Recommended by locals and well liked by visitors, these hotels make good bases for getting to know Skye. Whether it’s the cosy tradition of the Stein Inn, the oldest inn on Skye, or the culinary brilliance of Kinloch Lodge, a former hunting lodge turned luxury retreat, each stay is comfortable and true to the island. For those seeking adventure, the Sligachan Hotel is an ideal base, close to some of Skye’s most dramatic landscapes, and Raasay House Hotel is over the water on Raasay.
Wherever you choose to hang your hat, each of these hotels brings you closer to the island, with quiet, warmth and generous hospitality.
