Welcome to Spinnaker Hotel
Spinnaker Hotel is a family-owned and operated establishment rooted in Gourock since the early 1970s, though our Victorian-style building dates back to the 1920s. Over decades, we have expanded thoughtfully, increasing our bedrooms from three to nine in 1998 while preserving the propertys traditional charm. Our 2016-2017 refurbishment, guided by interior designer Catherine Wilson, enhanced our welcoming atmosphere without compromising the homely feel that defines us. We pride ourselves on offering exceptional hospitality, from our scenic dining experiences to our comfortable accommodations, all under the leadership of owner Stewart McCartney.Our team is dedicated to ensuring every guest enjoys a memorable stay, whether visiting for leisure, events, or our renowned cuisine. With no distractions like jukeboxes or fruit machines, we focus on delivering genuine warmth, quality service, and the unparalleled views of the River Clyde that our guests cherish.
