Hotel Information

Just ten minutes walk from the town centre, the historic and recently refurbished Pitlochry Hydro Hotel overlooks the town of Pitlochry itself.

The Pitlochry Hydro hotel offers an excellent range of facilities for visitors, including a modern, well-equipped gym and heated indoor swimming pool.

The hotel houses all of the amenities and facilities you would expect from a Coast & Country venue. In addition, our staff will offer you a warm, friendly welcome, and ensure that your stay is as relaxing and memorable as possible.

Pitlochry is a superb base for walkers. Ben Vrackie towers above the town, and the Cairngorm Massif is close by to the North. Loch Tummel and Loch Rannoch are also easily explored using the hotel as a base.

Why ‘Hydro’ Hotel?

The building has always been a hotel since its construction in 1890. The ‘hydro’ part of the name was so called because the waters in the surrounding area were found to be rich in hydrogen, and beneficial to health.

Pitlochry and the Hydro

We booked through national holidays and did not know what to expect for the money £99 for 4 days 3 nights. The bus from rowels of Prudhoe a little old but ok the driver Keith excellent. The trip up stopped at Edinburgh trip back stopped in Perth very good with some great tours in between. The hotel is large in a commanding position in Pitlochry alas up a steep bank. Public areas clean and tidy the restaurant very good and the pool excellent. The room needed a deep clean but served its purpose Aye.

Lovely Hotel

We have just returned from a weekend break. 1st time at Pitlochry Hydro. Was a bit anxious as reviews in trip adviser were a bit so-so. We needn't have worried. This is a lovely hotel and the decor is very nice. Food was great and staff were so pleasant. Dining room staff were so attentive and service was really good. Can’t think of one complaint about this hotel.

Superb

We stayed here as part of a group of 6 organised by Mrs Twist. The Hotel is in a good position overlooking Pitlochry, the public areas are spotless as are the rooms, We all enjoyed a nice swim in the lovely pool, a special mention has to be given to the restaurant staff we found them to be most professional and the food top notch it beats some 5 star Hotels, As one of our group mentioned Didn’t they look after us, Colin the coach driver looked after us in the tricky conditions during the storm.

Lovely hotel / poor entertainment

Hotel newly decorated, lovely, food very nice, and night entertainment poor. Piano player/singer! Played cards instead excitement was too much, some people went village pubs instead even given up the free bar. Daytime very quiet hotel, everything in village closed till spring/summer so back to hotel with its swimming pool / Jacuzzi which is great and the hotels saviour. It’s really lovely with views down to the village. This is my 3rd time here & I recommend it but the entertainment makes it boring 9/10.

We could not fault this holiday

Just had a 5 day break staying at the Pitlochry Hydro. The hotel was excellent. The public rooms are all comfortable and nicely decorated. Good choice of food served by pleasant attentive staff. Bar service very efficient, there was no queue at all despite it being all-inclusive! Our driver, George, was very professional and knowledgeable and provided commentary throughout. Thank you and well done to all, we will definitely be returning!
