Stag Hotel, Argyll Street, Lochgilphead

The Stag Hotel, located on Argyll Street in Lochgilphead, was designed by Colin Sinclair of H and D Barclay in 1937. This two-storey and attic hotel features ten bays and is built in the Scottish Baronial style. The exterior is harled with green sandstone used for the angle tower, and it has ashlar dressings. The windows have painted margins and some are fitted with timber mullions.

On the Argyll Street elevation, there are ten bays. The doorway is located in the third bay from the left and has a half-piended slate canopy above it. To the left of the doorway is a tall stair window, and to the outer left at ground level is a broad tripartite window. Another doorway is found in the sixth bay from the left, which has a moulded panel above it, with tripartite windows flanking this entrance. There is a pend to the outer right. The remaining bays at ground level feature windows, while the first floor has eight symmetrically arranged windows, including the stair window. Eight dormers, each with half-piended roofs, break the eaves. The two-storey angle tower on the outer left is corbelled from the ground floor and has three windows at the first floor and two above, flanking a bull's eye window, topped with a conical swept roof.

The Lorne Street side elevation has four asymmetrically arranged bays. The doorway is off-centre to the left, with two windows to the right. Above, there are three windows at the first floor. A bipartite window with an ashlar mullion is located to the outer left at both the ground and first floors. There is a wallhead stack off-centre to the left, and the wall extends to the right with an attic window. Another wallhead stack is positioned to the outer right. A dormer window breaks the eaves, set between stacks and to the outer left. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey and attic wing that has modern shops abutting it.

The hotel predominantly features 12-pane timber sash and case windows and has a grey slate roof with harled, coped stacks.
