Salutation Hotel

The Salutation Hotel and Restaurant is located in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. It is a Category B listed building with previous additions and subsequent alterations, dating from circa 1810. The structure claims to be Scotland's oldest hotel, although this is not the case. It has grown to encompass three adjacent tenements, one on the right and two on the left.

A private residence belonging to the Murray family was the first structure recorded on this site. Between 1699 and 1745, it served as a rest stop for coaches traveling between Edinburgh and Glasgow in the south and Aberdeen and Inverness in the north. The Venetian window was erected by Sir Robert Reid, the King's architect in Scotland, to the current street elevation in the early nineteenth century.

A 1699 stone fireplace may be found in room number 20. A stone carrying the Earl of Moray's arms, dated 1619, may be found in the courtyard to the back. On November 7, 1969, David Bowie performed in the hotel's Moncreiffe Suite. The hotel has also hosted the Beatles. In 2016, a project to renovate the hotel's exterior won the biennial Perth Civic Trust Award.
