Excelsior Place Penthouse Apartment

14 Excelsior Place is a beautifully appointed one bedroom penthouse apartment with breathtaking views eastwards over Lerwick Harbour and, to the South, over Fort Charlotte and towards Lerwick Town Hall, both iconic Lerwick landmarks. Situated in the heart of Lerwick Town Centre the apartment is 100m away from Commercial Street, the main commercial area of town, running parallel to the harbour front with many independent, locally owned shops and eating establishments to explore. The apartment is also perfectly situated 200m away from the starting and culmination points of the spectacular Lerwick Up Helly Aa fire festival which takes place on the last Tuesday of January. A short walk away at Hay’s Dock is Shetland Museum and Archives, well worth a visit to explore Shetland’s history and culture from its earliest beginnings to the present day. For Shetland Wool Week enthusiasts, Shetland Museum acts as the hub for Wool Week activities for the duration of the festival. For guests wishing to explore further afield, the Viking Bus Station is 100m from the apartment, from where public service buses will take you on journeys the length and breadth of Shetland.

Accommodation consists of one south facing double bedroom, a light and airy open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with floor to ceiling windows offering spectacular views eastwards over Lerwick Harbour and across the town. Enjoy a coffee or a meal as you watch ships, ferries and cruise liners at work or at anchor in the harbour as the morning sun floods the apartment. The kitchen area is fully equipped with all you would require for a self-catering holiday experience. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower and heated towel rail. WiFi is available. High quality bedlinen and towels are provided plus a welcome pack of milk and shortbread, plus tea and coffee, to get your holiday started.
