An Lanntair is in the centre of Stornoway near the bus station (1 minutes walk) and the ferry terminal (2 minutes walk).

The entrance is on the corner of Kenneth Street and Francis Street, look for the courtyard opposite Martins Memorial Church.

On South Beach look for the distinctive round tower on the corner opposite the bus station which represents a lantern. An Lanntair means Lantern in Gaelic and the corner tower makes the building easy to find.

The courtyard has been specially designed for An Lanntair and contains an outdoor artwork, a halo of light by Belgian glass-artist Inge Panneels.
