About the Best Western Queens Hotel, Oban.

You will be assured of a very warm welcome at Best Western The Queens Hotel, in the beautiful yet bustling little town of Oban.

Oban's traditional role as the Gateway to the Isles means that even a short break up here can open up a tantalising list of island destinations. Alternatively, it is also well placed as a stop off on a wee whistlestop tour of Bonnie Scotland itself!

This independently owned and operated hotel has 45 rooms in total, including 2 lovely sea view suites and a mixture of Standard, Standard Plus rooms (which have some lovely partial bay views), Superior and Deluxe Bay View Doubles. Some of the rooms have Jacuzzi baths with overhead showers and we do have a small number of standard single and double rooms with walk-in showers.

Please note however, that the hotel is a listed building therby does not cater well for the needs of those with disabilities. There are no ground floor rooms and there is no lift in the Old Bishop's House. The lift commences at first floor level in the adjacent Iona building. All suites and rooms are fully ensuite and finished to a 4 star standard.

The hotel has a very small car park which is available on a first come-first served basis. We can reserve parking for those with Blue Badges given sufficient notice in advance of your arrival. There is also free parking on the adjacent esplanade and you will find another carpark 0.4 miles from the hotel which offers free overnight parking.

The Oban Distillery

The Oban Distillery was founded in 1794 by the brothers John and Hugh Stevenson. At this time there was no town as such, and the town gradually evolved with the distillery and the arrival of steamers and the trains around 1880. The distillery only has 2 pot stills, which makes it one of the smallest distilleries in Scotland, yet the name of this single malt is held in great regard internationally. The distillery tours are fascinating and include a tasting - not to be missed. Visit website

Staffa Tours

Staffa Tours One of the most popular trips with our guests is undoubtedly the Three Islands Tour operated by Staffa Tours in conjunction with Caledonian MacBrayne and departing from Oban. Reputed to be one of the best day tours in Britain itself, providing a scenic route to Mull, Iona and Staffa. One of the most awe inspiring sights you will encounter has to be 'fingal's cave on the Isle of Staffa. Three features combine to make Fingal's Cave on Staffa perhaps the best known of all caves. The sacred isle of Iona has a long and illustrious history and is well known as being ‘The cradle of Christianity’ in Scotland. While that is without doubt one of the main reasons that a reported 130,000 visitors come to Iona each year, there is much more to the island than that. It is striking to remark that despite the numbers of visitors to the island, the pervading feeling that people leave with is one of peace and restoration. The Isle of Mull is the largest of the Island of Argyll and the third largest in Scotland, with some 300 miles of coastline. The main town of Tobermory is famed for the cheerful colours of its waterfront buildings and the yachts bobbing in the natural harbour. Tobermory is also well known for being the setting of hit children's TV show Balamory. The town is recently more known for catching a glimpse of iconic wildlife species; from Golden and White-tailed Eagles and other marine birds soaring the skies to Otters, Dolphins and Porpoise swimming in the harbour.
