About the Queens and Grand Hotels
Right
in the centre of town, and standing proudly in Lerwick's conservation
area, catering equally for both long stay or Bed and Breakfast visitors,
both our Queens and Grand
hotels are traditional Shetland stone built Victorian era buildings that,
despite being in excess of 150 years old, offer good quality and comfortable
accommodation conveniently located in the town centre. Situated on the Lerwick's main thoroughfare, Commercial Street, literally just a stone's throw from the harbour, our hotels make an ideal base for tourists, coach parties, visiting yachtsmen or business travellers, and both hotels offer quick and easy access to all the amenities you would expect to find in a busy town centre including, free car parking, banks, Tourist Information Centre, local shops, harbour, bus, ferry and taxi services.
The
Queens and Grand hotels both offer well appointed en-suite accommodation,
equipped with the all usual extras, providing the 'home away from home'
touch that means so much whilst our staff, as you would expect, are attentive,
