Our story
A landmark house with a personal welcome.
The Shaftesbury is an independent Dundee hotel where 19th-century character meets the warmth and ease of a well-run home.
The Shaftesbury Hotel
Dundee heritage, lived in—not looked at.
Set on the sunny east coast of Scotland beside the River Tay, Dundee is a city of design, discovery, education, and industry. The Shaftesbury Hotel is part of that story: an impressive 19th-century granite mansion in the city's quiet West End.
Tall windows, generous proportions, individual rooms, and a handsome street presence give the house its unmistakable character. Inside, the focus is refreshingly straightforward: clean and comfortable accommodation, thoughtful service, and a breakfast that sets you up well for the day.
The hotel is close to Dundee city centre, the University of Dundee, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee Airport, Dundee Botanic Garden, Riverside Technology Park, and the West Park Conference Centre, which is around a five-minute walk away.
A warm welcome
Quiet enough to unwind, convenient enough to explore Dundee, and personal enough to feel remembered.
