The accolade comes a year after the hotel was renovated by the The Cumberland Building Society and hotel, bar and restaurant owner Paul Sloan
Scottish hotel No. 26 by the sea has been named in Tripadvisor’s top 25 hotels to visit in the world.
The hotel based in Oban Scotland is the only UK destination on the list and came in at number 25.
No. 26 has nine luxury guest rooms, each with either a sea view, woodland outlook, or its own private garden terrace. The hotel’s drawing room and lounge looks out across the water to the island of Kerrera, while its Sea Terrace has couches and a fire pit.
The accolade comes a year after the hotel was renovated by the The Cumberland Building Society and hotel, bar and restaurant owner Paul Sloan.
Alasdair Swan, senior commercial manager at The Cumberland, said: “We’re thrilled to see No.26 by the Sea recognised, and rightly so, as Paul and every member of the team provide a beautifully unique and luxury experience in one of the world’s most stunning settings.
“At a time when the hospitality industry was facing numerous challenges, Paul’s projects and vision in Oban was a breath of fresh air, and shows how businesses in the sector can thrive if they have the confidence to take opportunities to invest in the hospitality sector.”
Paul Sloan added: “We’re delighted to be recognised by Tripadvisor as one of the 25 hottest new hotels in the world. It really pays tribute to the fantastic work all members of the team do to ensure our guests have the most enjoyable visit possible, but also everything that Oban has to offer.
“Also a huge thanks to The Cumberland, whose investment was a key driving force behind the project. I can’t reiterate enough how great my experience of working with The Cumberland team has been. There is always someone on hand to offer advice, which hasn’t always been the case when working with other banks.”
