Cameron HouseThe Cameron House just got a new lease on life. The stunning 15th century chateau, located along Scotland’s Loch Lomond, was recently bought by AHG (the same company that brings us the city wide boutique hotels Malmaison and Hotel du Vin) as part of their De Vere group.

The 96 room house just got one hell of a makeover that includes the opening of a brand new wing called the Colquhoun House. Colquhoun just recently opened, on May 1 to be exact, with six suites and 30 more bedrooms. They’ve also made the leap into today’s technology by adding flat screen televisions, free internet access, and direct dial phones to each room.
Renovation aside, the home has had a fascinating life thus far. The site dates back to the 1400s, when a much smaller Cameron was built here. By the 1800s the shipbuilding and merchant Smollet family had moved up in the world and right into the Cameron House. They lavished the grounds and even introduced bison and bears to the landscape for hunting purposes.

Though you won’t be caught in a bison stampede today, the resort has followed in the Smollet family luxurious footsteps with a new Carrick golf club, contemporary spa, and rooftop whirlpool overlooking the spectacular loch view.
