The Portree Hotel sits on the corner of Portree's main street, overlooking Somerled Square, the town's main square, in a building originally constructed in 1875. The main bus stop and taxi ranks stand directly outside, offering direct links to other parts of the Isle of Skye. Local touring companies, the Cuillin Mountains and Portree Harbour are among the nearby attractions.
Rooms
The hotel has 24 en-suite rooms, each with a 32-inch flat screen TV and a private bathroom. All bedrooms are set over three floors, and many look out over Somerled Square. The building has no lift, so staff carry bags to rooms on arrival.
Dining
Antlers Bar & Grill offers an extensive menu with options for diverse dietary needs and kids' meals. West Highland Bar serves craft beers and cocktails beside a wood-burning stove, with televisions in the bar area. Dinner reservations are recommended because Antlers Bar & Grill draws both locals and visitors.

Family rooms are available, and the hotel lists kids' meals among its dining options. Dogs are welcomed in the hotel bar area, making the property pet-friendly. The Antlers Bar & Grill and West Highland Bar are on site for family meals and drinks.

“The Portree Hotel immediately draws the eye, a handsome building anchoring the town square with an attached restaurant that proved essential for securing a table on a busy Sunday. While rooms come at a premium, they possess a plush feel, and the staff's friendly demeanor made the stay seamless. Breakfast, a substantial spread including some delightful homemade donuts, and the well-executed dinner menu are clear highlights, complementing a location that puts the heart of Portree within easy walking distance.”
