The owners of five-star Inverlochy Castle have acquired Knockendarroch Hotel in Pitlochry, Scotland for an undisclosed sum.
The multi award-winning luxury Knockendarroch Hotel is located in the heart of the Perthshire countryside and features 18 bedrooms and a 2 AA-Rosette restaurant.
From 20 January 2025, Knockendarroch Hotel will join the group of luxury hotels run by Inverlochy Castle Management International (ICMI), including Crossbasket Castle, Greywalls, Isle of Eriska Hotel and Spa, Rocpool Reserve and the Glenfinnan Hotel. Knockendarroch Hotel is set to reopen 7 February 2025.
Norbert Lieder, managing director of ICMI, said: “We are so happy to welcome Knockendarroch and its excellent team to the ICMI fold. With hotels across some of Scotland’s most popular rural locations it feels like we are meant to have a presence in beautiful Pitlochry.
“The previous owners significantly upgraded the hotel, and it is extremely well run. We look forward to continuing to deliver the same high standard of service.”
Struan and Louise Lothian added: “We have owned Knockendarroch for ten years and loved every minute. The business has grown consistently over that time and thrived as part of an increasingly bustling visitor offering in Pitlochry.”
“ICMI is one of the best management companies in the hotel business and we believe they will take Knockendarroch to the next level.”
Knockendarroch currently has planning permission to build an additional 8 bedrooms, which ICMI hope to develop in the near future.
