The Glenburn Hotel is a hotel located on Glenburn Road in Rothesay, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Category B listed building built in the first half of the 19th century.[1] It opened for business in 1843. It was rebuilt, in ashlar stone, in 1892, on a grander scale, after a fire.[2] It was originally Glenburn Hydropathic, Scotland's first spa.[1][2] A brick chimney to the east of the property served the laundry and the steam heating.[2]
The hotel, which has 121 bedrooms,[3] is known colloquially, especially amongst the older generation, as the Hydro.[2]
The Glenburn was extensively refurbished in 2016. It has been closed since November 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff initially being placed on furlough. In March 2022, it was announced that the hotel has been sold to the hotel group Bespoke Hotels for an undisclosed sum.[4]
