The Alexandra Hotel

About The Alexandra Hotel

The Alexandra Hotel sits on Bridge Square in the heart of Ballater, a genuinely family-run hotel offering well-appointed twin, double and single rooms, all en suite, within a couple of minutes' walk of the village's shops and the old station museum. It has none of the scale of Ballater's larger hotels, but makes up for it with a strong sense of place and a long-standing local following.

Its public bar is the main draw for many visitors, having been recognised by CAMRA for the quality of its real ale selection for ten consecutive years, alongside a range of craft beers, ciders and Speyside single malts. The restaurant serves a menu of hearty dishes built around local ingredients, available for both lunch and dinner.

For anyone wanting to stay right in the centre of the village without paying for a country-house setting, the Alexandra offers a straightforward, sociable base within walking distance of everything Ballater has to offer, from the farmers' market to the start of the old railway path.
