Penta Hotel Inverness, Scotland

• Loch Ness legend: If you've always fancied your chances at spotting the elusive Loch Ness Monster, it's time to head for the Highlands. The Pentahotel Inverness is a short stroll from the centre of this historic coastal city and just half an hour's drive from the world-famous Loch Ness. 
  
  
• Explore historic Inverness: When you're not Loch-side with your binoculars, there's plenty to do nearer the hotel. The city's Old Town features the 19th-century Inverness Cathedral, a castle overlooking the river, an indoor Victorian Market selling food and crafts and the contemporary Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, which traces local and Highland history.
  
  
• Hip Highland hideaway: The Pentahotel Inverness brings a decent dose of Hackney hipster to this historical Highland city - think cocktails, glitter balls, billiards and beer. Check in and chill out on some inviting leather sofas in a lobby bar area, complete with double-sided fire, billiards table and shelves of books (real ones; meant to be read). The hotel bar comes alive at night but there are quieter corners to hang out in here, and when it’s warm enough there’s a big enclosed deck area outside with comfy seating.
