About Us
A Landmark That Has Watched the Town Grow
Built in 1884 for the Royal Bank of Scotland, this landmark building stands proudly within Campbeltown's conservation area at the junction of Castlehill and Lorne Street—a lasting symbol of the town's Victorian confidence.
Designed by the acclaimed Peddie & Kinnear, whose work shaped some of Scotland's most distinguished streets and buildings, the property features traditional corbelling and distinctive crow-stepped gables—hallmarks of Scottish Baronial architecture.
Today, this landmark begins a new chapter. Carefully restored and thoughtfully reimagined, ready to welcome a new generation of guests with a chance to stay somewhere woven into the fabric of Campbeltown's story.

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Sustainability has been a guiding principle throughout the restoration of Castlehill Aparthotel. Our objective has been to preserve the character of this historic building while thoughtfully integrating modern technologies that reduce energy consumption, improve efficiency and enhance guest comfort.
Wherever possible, we have selected solutions that balance environmental responsibility with the quality of experience our guests expect.
Our sustainability initiatives include:
- Sensitive restoration of a listed building, extending the life of an important part of Campbeltown's built heritage.
- Energy-efficient timber sash and case double glazing, improving thermal performance while preserving the building's traditional appearance.
- Thermostatically controlled Infrared heating throughout the hotel, providing comfortable, responsive and energy-efficient room heating.
- Air source heat pump hot water system, significantly reducing the energy required to produce hot water.
- Wastewater heat recovery: capturing heat from shower water to improve overall system efficiency.
- Instant boiling and filtered water tap in every suite, reducing energy consumption while eliminating the need for kettles and single-use bottled water.
- LED lighting throughout the property, reducing electricity consumption.
- Energy-efficient kitchen and laundry appliances, helping minimise day-to-day energy use.

A Digital-First Experience
Castlehill Aparthotel has embraced a digital-first operating model, reducing paper consumption while creating a seamless guest experience from booking through to departure.
Guests receive secure digital access codes before arrival, allowing completely keyless self-check-in.
Property information, local recommendations, visitor guides and guest communications are all delivered digitally, reducing the need for printed welcome packs, directories and paperwork while ensuring information remains accurate and always up to date. This approach not only reduces waste but also gives guests immediate access to everything they need, wherever they are, from their own device.
By combining smart technology with thoughtful hospitality, we offer greater convenience while reducing our environmental footprint.
But our commitment doesn't stop there.....
LOOKING FORWARD.....
Our commitment to sustainability doesn't end with the completion of the restoration. Castlehill Aparthotel has been designed with the future in mind, and we continue to explore new technologies and initiatives that will further reduce our environmental impact while enhancing the guest
experience.
Over the coming years, we plan to invest in additional energy-efficient technologies, helping to reduce carbon emissions, improve operational efficiency and make even greater use of renewable
We're equally passionate about supporting active tourism, recognising the important role it plays in Campbeltown's growing visitor economy. Subject to future development, our plans include facilities designed to better support golfers, cyclists, walkers and other outdoor enthusiasts, making Castlehill an ideal base from which to explore the Kintyre peninsula.
By continually investing in both sustainability and the guest experience, our ambition is to ensure that Castlehill Aparthotel remains a responsible, comfortable and future-focused destination for many years to come.
