Ness Walk Crowned "Most Romantic Hotel in the UK"

Ness Walk has been announced as the most romantic hotel in the UK at the Condé Nast Johansens’ Awards for Excellence. And we couldn’t be happier! From the publishers of Vogue, GQ and Condé Nast Traveler, Condé Nast Johansens’ Awards for Excellence have become a trusted mark of quality recognised by consumers and travel professionals alike.

The Highest Accolade…

Winners across the UK, Europe & The Mediterranean; North America (USA, Canada, México & the Caribbean); Central & South America; and Asia, Africa, the Middle East & Oceania were revealed at the event in London on Monday night.

Awarded ‘Best for Romance’ 2024, the award recognises the romantic and personal atmosphere that Ness Walk exudes; from the tranquil lounges, exceptionally peaceful and spacious rooms and intimate dining experience in the hotel’s restaurant, Torrish. We couldn’t be happier!

Redefining Luxury

Ness Walk opened in 2019 and has since earned a reputation as one of the Scottish Highlands’ top destination hotels with a signature warmth and personality. The exceptional welcome begins at our gated entrance. Our team are passionate about warm welcoming hospitality, serving complimentary champagne on arrival to set the scene for the ultimate in relaxation.

Condé Nast Johansens capture the essence of the hotel: “Five-star service, smart interiors, award-winning food and a warm Highland welcome are all guaranteed”

“Ness Walk’s stunning grounds are home to the trees that inspired the guest room and suites’ names. Each one is spacious and utterly lavish. Many have views of the courtyard or river and beyond.”

Torrish

In our restaurant Torrish, the dining experience offers one of the most exquisite and romantic settings in the city. Guests can enjoy artisan cocktails by the firepits in the courtyard before dinner and the restaurant’s experienced sommelier will offer personal recommendations from the extensive wine collection. Each dish on the menu celebrates the finest seasonal ingredients from local artisan producers, farmers and growers with provenance front and centre.
