Ambassador Hotel opens in Inverness following £6m investment

The Black Sheep Hotels Group has opened the Ambassador Hotel in Inverness following a £6m investment.

The former Strathness House Hotel on Ardross Terrace overlooks the River Ness and is housed within two Victorian townhouses dating back to 1874.

The latest addition to the Black Sheep Hotels Group portfolio features 14 individually designed rooms and suites.

Inside the hotel is Talk of the Town, a new continental and Indian restaurant, and The Other Room, a new library bar. 

Talk of the Town is named after a famous Bombay restaurant established in 1968 and brings a Scottish-Indian dining concept to the city. The restaurant is led by corporate executive chef Sinclair Pinto, who has worked for the likes of Angela Hartnett and Helen Darroze.

More from the menu

Located on the banks of the River Ness, the Talk of the Town menu blends Scottish classics, continental dishes and Indian specialities, using locally sourced Highland ingredients. Seafood will be supplied by local fishmonger Iain Stewart, with meats sourced from Lochaber Larder.

The restaurant will also feature a curated wine and spirits list from the hotel’s Library Bar, alongside classic and signature cocktails created by Antwerp-based mixologist Paul Morel.

Black Sheep Hotels Group is part of Mars Enterprises and Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, run by siblings Sanjay and Rachna Narang.
