Castle Mona is a former private residence later used as a hotel in Douglas, Isle of Man. The house was built between 1803 and 1804 for the 4th Duke of Atholl during his term as Governor of the Isle of Man.[2] Before 1850, Queen Victoria proposed buying it as a more suitable royal residence than Osborne House.[3]

After the hotel closed the building fell into disrepair, and subsequent to further disuse was sold at auction in 2018. In 2022 works were undertaken to demolish modern additions to the listed structure housing the bowling alley, nightclub and accommodation.
