The history of the hotel is fascinating; it was completed around 1882 with the arrival of the West Highland Railway in Oban. The hotel was originally known as The Station Hotel and was owned by the Campbell family who retained ownership until the 1950s. During the Second World War the hotel was requisitioned by the Royal Navy as their base in the town. Oban was a major base for transatlantic Convoys, a large RAF base was established at Connel in association with this and Oban was also the base for the famous flying boats. At the same time as the hotel was built the Royal Highland Yacht Club was established and the Hotel continues to be the base for this regatta. During the 1960s the building was renamed as The Caledonian Hotel and at this time was one of the first hotels in the Highlands to boast a motorised lift and central heating. In 2002 it was closed for major rennovations and now offers stylish, contemporary comfort and service. The hotel has 59 rooms, many with fine views over Oban Bay to the mountains of Mull and Ardgour. |
