Hotel for night on my own

[Nighttime44]

Where in Scotland - hotels wise- can I go for a night on my own to relax- and not stick out like a sore thumb if I’m on my own?
Not one star but not as expensive as eg Gleneagles so maybe 4 or 3 star.
Will travel pretty much anywhere so any suggestions welcome.
Thank you!

There's a Hilton near Dunblane I once stayed in with work for a night. I didn't feel odd at all. Plus it had a pool and lovely grounds.

What do you want to do when you are awake? Walking, coffee - outdoors - Ballater is lovely.
Shopping, galleries, history - can’t beat Edinburgh

I have stayed in both of these recently and been quite happy on my own, eating or in the bar. Unbothered, but not awkward.

I would go for a chain hotel if you want to blend in. I agree Dunblane hydro is a good shout, or any of the other Hiltons.

Or Dakota just outside Edinburgh.

I like the village hotels as they are nicely done and have everything you need, Starbucks, pool/spa facilities, bar and restaurant.
They have one in Edinburgh, Glasgow and possibly Aberdeen.

Marine & Lawn in North Berwick is gorgeous and I've been on my own twice, no issues.

There's also one in Troon that's a bit cheaper but it doesn't have the lovely thermal suite.

Thank you… I will look at these👍

I've been on my own for work to various hotels in Glasgow and Edinburgh and never felt I stuck out. The hotels I stayed in were Sheraton, various Apex hotels, Malmaison, Hilton and Radisson. Gleneagles, Cameron House, Old Course and Fairmont are all very busy hotels so you definitely won't stand out as a lone traveller.

I stayed a fair bit in the Malmasion in Leith on my own for business. I had no issue. No one really noticed me bar one staff member who always made sure that there was a copy of the evening paper put aside for me.

Tbh though people don't pay that much attention to other people in hotels and could not care less of you are on your own or not. I would pick a hotel you want to visit rather than limiting myself to hotels where you blend in. The only exception to this is I would avoid hotels popular with hens and stags. I had the misfortune of staying in a hotel that was popular with stags, although they were actually trying to be nice the annoyed the hell out of me.

I’ve done Crieff Hydro on my own and loved it. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I found that if you time things well you never see small children much at all.
My itinerary was a bit like this. Late breakfast, spa treatment, spa time in the Victorian Spa (adults only) in the morning. Late lunch in the brasserie with a glass of wine. Families tend to lunch early. Maybe spend a bit of time in the Winter Garden reading the papers with a pot of tea (or another glass of wine). Families tend to go out in the afternoon.
I might also have an afternoon nap😀. In the summer I would go for a walk round the gardens or if feeling particularly energetic a run round the loop at teatime. Most families with small children eat early. I would book dinner for the last sitting. The staff were so sweet and were trying to persuade me to try different cocktails. Post dinner drink in the Meikle Bar (also adults only). I would stress though that this was all before COVID so there may have been changes.

The OP hasn't said they don't want to see small children so that's a bizarre thing to mention (twice). Some people don't actually mind other people's kids, imagine that!

OP I would recommend the Apex hotel in Dundee.
