New hotel for Aviemore as brothers expand Highland footprint
A former Aviemore guest house has been transformed into a stylish new aparthotel after a £450,000 revamp. It is the second major project by family-run Sweeney Hotels in the popular Highland resort. Sweeney Aviemore Two on Grampian Road offers 16 high-spec rooms aimed at tourists, walkers and outdoor adventurers heading into the Cairngorms National Park. The building – previously the Park Guest House – has been overhauled with smart tech, luxury finishes and modern interiors designed by Sweeney Group's in-house team. Room options range from standard doubles to two larger suites sleeping up to six guests. It's the latest investment from brothers Martin and Stephen Sweeney, who launched Sweeney Aviemore One just up the road last year following a £1 million upgrade of a separate property. The project was inspired by the brothers' fond childhood memories of Aviemore. They say their goal is to raise the bar for affordable luxury in Highland hospitality. A key feature of Sweeney Aviemore Two is the addition of Delaneys' Restaurant, a 40-cover independent eatery operated by local couple Shannen and Martin Delaney. It offers all-day dining and takeaway options as part of an 'integrated in-house experience'. Stephen Sweeney says the area's growing visitor numbers made further investment a no-brainer. 'Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park is a well-established and ever-growing tourism destination in the Highlands, attracting approximately two million visitors annually,' he said. 'We're thrilled to be expanding our premium accommodation offering in the Aviemore village, enabling us to deliver an exceptional guest experience to our increasing customer base.' The Sweeney group is currently developing a new flagship hotel on the banks of the River Ness in Inverness, comprising 19 rooms and suites. Stephen added: 'Our upcoming hotel development on the waterfront in the heart of Inverness – scheduled to open in early summer 2026 – aims to provide the same high standard of accommodation for those exploring or working throughout the Highland region.' Speaking about the latest expansion, Martin Sweeney said: 'Aviemore is a year-round destination with so much to offer. 'With this refurbishment, we've created a property that perfectly blends comfort, design, and extra in-room functions for our guests. 'The Sweeney brand stands for elegant, luxurious accommodation that delivers memorable experiences – all at a fair price when booked directly.'
