Stirling Hotels and Accommodation

(Stirling, Scotland, UK)

Modern Stirling is one of the most vibrant cities in the UK. It has a rich heritage and amazing historic attractions to match its contemporary events and attractions. The city's international university and thriving tourism industry means there are plenty of lodging choices to fit every taste, style and budget. Accommodation in and around the city ranges from historic bed and breakfasts to luxury hotels.

If you want to splash out on top-end accommodation, there are several excellent luxury hotels in Stirling to choose from. The Stirling Highland is unique in that it is housed in a Victorian-era high school. The building is amazing, with a restored historic atmosphere that permeates the rooms and the facility.

Where to Stay

The Park Lodge is another favourite at the top end, with a residential location and lovely 19th-century Italian architecture. Just ten rooms are available in the mansion, ensuring a level of intimacy balanced by the privacy of a larger hotel.

In addition to its hotels, Stirling boasts a fantastic selection of historic bed and breakfasts (B&Bs). If you don't mind a little less anonymity, these inns combine ambience with friendly welcoming hosts.

Argyll's lodging is unique in that every room is perfectly reconstructed in the period of this 17th-century townhouse. In the summer, costumed performers tell guests the stories of the era and this special historic building.

Other excellent inns to consider in Stirling include the Burns View Guest House, the Cressington B&B and the Munro Guest House, all of which are right in the heart of the historic downtown. Even the more modern Holiday Inn Express Stirling at the outlying Springkerse Business Park is a notch above average chain hotels, featuring sensibly priced accommodation, great views and a conveniently location.

Just outside of the city, in the charming hamlet of Bridge of Allen, is the elegant Royal Hotel, a destination in itself.

The town of Dunblane is also nearby and home to the spectacular historic hotel - the 200-room Dunblane Hydro.
