Inverness welcomes its first aparthotel: A blend of history and modern comfort
Inverness, a city rich in history and natural beauty, has recently embraced a new era in hospitality with the launch of Rosedene Highland House, the first aparthotel in the region.
This innovative establishment combines the spaciousness of an apartment with the luxurious amenities of a hotel, catering to both corporate travelers and tourists seeking a unique experience.
Transforming a historic building
Amjed Rasul, the visionary behind Rosedene Highland House, has undertaken a remarkable transformation of a historic building on Drummond Crescent.
Originally constructed in the 19th century, this Victorian property has a storied past, having served various purposes, including a maternity hospital and a care establishment. The recent multi-million-pound renovation has preserved its architectural charm while modernizing the space to meet contemporary needs.
“The history of the building is phenomenal,” Amjed states, highlighting its significance in the community. “It has always featured an element of care, and almost everyone who walks into this building has some personal connection to it.” This connection is particularly poignant for those who were born in the building, many of whom have returned to stay and reconnect with their past.
A unique offering for corporate travelers
Rosedene Highland House is strategically located to provide easy access to the city center while offering ample parking and green surroundings. This thoughtful positioning is crucial for Amjed’s target clientele, which primarily consists of professionals engaged in major projects across the Highlands. “There hasn’t been an apartment hotel in Inverness previously, and this remains the only one at the moment,” he explains.
The aparthotel is designed to meet the needs of corporate guests who require more than just a place to sleep. “They need a good night’s sleep and want everything to work without having to think about it,” Amjed adds. The accommodations are equipped with custom-designed beds and high-quality amenities, ensuring that guests can rest well and perform efficiently at work.
Commitment to quality and safety
Rosedene Highland House has recently achieved global accreditation for its building safety, security, comfort, and quality. Amjed emphasizes that from the outset, the goal was to reach the highest global standards. “This building has always been ahead of its time,” he notes, pointing to the advanced features of the original design that surpass many new constructions today.
The feedback from guests has exceeded expectations, with many expressing their appreciation for the unique blend of history and modern comfort. Amjed’s commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the aparthotel, from the carefully curated decor to the attentive service provided by the staff.
As Rosedene Highland House opens its doors to guests, it not only marks a significant milestone for Inverness but also sets a new standard for corporate accommodation in the Highlands. With its rich history and modern amenities, this aparthotel is poised to become a cherished destination for travelers seeking a distinctive experience.
