The Scottish Highlands, wild and rugged, have a timeless romantic quality. At their very heart, where the River Tummel flows to the Tay, sits the historic small town of Pitlochry.The Atholl Palace Hotel, the epitome of Scottish Baronial splendour, stands overlooking wooded parkland grounds and the town to the surrounding hills.Originally opened as the Athole Hydropathic in Victorian times, the hotel retains many features of the traditional large country house, with bedroom facilities and standards which often exceed expectations and complement spacious, relaxing public areas. The Atholl Palace is now so much more than a hotel - it is a destination for day visitors as well as guests. You can easily spend a day exploring the gardens, discovering museum and enjoying a bar lunch or afternoon tea in the lounge, not to mention being pampered in the Spa.
