Grand Hotel Lerwick

About Grand Hotel Lerwick

The Grand Hotel sits on Commercial Street at the heart of Lerwick's Old Town, in the middle of Shetland's capital and within a few minutes' walk of the harbour, the shops and the town's restaurants and bars. It is a straightforward, no-frills hotel rather than a boutique one, and its appeal lies in the combination of a genuinely central address with free parking, which is not always easy to come by in the older part of town.

Rooms are offered as single, double and triple options, described respectively as suited to solo travellers and business guests, couples wanting a comfortable, spacious room, and families needing the extra space. All rooms are en-suite, and the hotel operates year-round rather than seasonally, which matters in a town where some smaller guest houses scale back over winter.

The location puts Lerwick's Old Town lanes, the Shetland Museum, the Market Cross and the ferry terminal all within easy walking distance, and the hotel's position makes it a sensible, unfussy base for exploring both the town and, with a car, the rest of the mainland. It suits visitors who prioritise location and value over extensive facilities.
