About Dowans Hotel
You don’t have to love a dram to check into the Dowans Hotel, but if you do, you’re in the right place. Sitting in the heart of Speyside, Scotland’s picturesque whisky county, Dowans is neighbors with more than 50 whisky distilleries, some of which are in walking distance from the hotel. Although you might not even need to leave try them; the hotel’s bar The Still stocks around 750 whisky references with something to suit beginners, and some rare bottles to excite the seasoned connoisseurs. Gastronomes can enjoy another taste of the Scottish terroir in Restaurant 57, which sources much of its meat and fish from within a 30-minute drive away. There's also traditional British afternoon tea served daily, the Mbar for cozy nightcaps by the fire, and a summer terrace with views of the rolling Scottish countryside.
