Columba Hotel  

On Oban’s North Pier, this Victorian granite landmark looks out over Oban Bay to the Isles of Kerrera, Mull and Lismore and the Mountains of Morven. Right in the city centre, it’s a short walk to Oban Ferry Terminal, Oban Distillery, St. John’s Cathedral and McCaig’s Tower—great for island hops and town strolls.

Built in 1865 and extended in 1901 from Scottish granite and sandstone, the hotel keeps a classic seafront character with a bright, airy feel. Most rooms offer sea views; the rest look out over a wooded hillside. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms and simple, light-enhancing décor—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and bay vistas.

Relax in the bar or lounge after a day of island tours, or plan excursions at the on-site tour desk. On-property perks include a restaurant, 24-hour front desk, laundry/press services and baggage storage. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you enjoy the harbour views and local atmosphere.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and on-site self parking (charges may apply). 24-hour reception and luggage storage make arrivals and departures easy.

An on-site restaurant serves local flavours and hearty regional dishes, and an adjoining bar/lounge is perfect for a post-ferry drink. Mornings bring coffee with city or bay views—simple, local-focused fare to start your day.
