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 iwas announced that the hotel has been sold to the hotel group Bespoke Hotels for an undisclosed sum. [4]
