Glenrigh Hotel, Corran Esplanade, Oban

The Glenrigh Hotel, located on Corran Esplanade in Oban, is a later 19th-century, two-storey and attic, six-bay mirrored double villa that has been converted into hotel accommodation. It features gothic and Baronial architectural details. The main block is arranged in a U-shape with projecting entrance porches at both ends.

The exterior is constructed from bull-faced, squared, and snecked granite, accented with yellow sandstone dressings. It has a base course and a moulded eaves cornice.

On the west (principal) elevation, the outer bays feature mirrored two-storey, single-bay entrance porches. At the ground level, there is a two-bay loggia supported by columns on tall bases, which hold up a heavy lintel carved with blind quatrefoils. Above, a gabled dormer with a ball finial breaks the eaves, with a window on each floor of the gabled return elevations. The second and fifth bays have mirrored advanced gables, each containing a two-storey canted window with a dividing string course and a parapet adorned with quatrefoils. The central bays have bipartite windows at both the ground and first floors, and a balcony at the first floor bridges the centre, featuring a parapet with carved quatrefoils and supported by three columns similar to the entrance loggias. Gabled dormers with finials also break the eaves at the second floor.

The windows are primarily plate glass timber sash and case, with some modern glazing that matches the original pattern. The roofs of the main block, dormers, and porches are covered with grey slates. There are square cast-iron downpipes with profiled gutters at the eaves, single-flue stacks at the ridge junctions, and four-flue apex stacks at the end gables. The central dividing wall has a ten-flue main stack, all featuring fluting on their upper halves. The gables and dormers are topped with triangular skew copes that are stepped at the centre point, with ball finials at the apex of the west gables.
