Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort, Glasgow, has appointed hospitality leader Andy Roger as Resort director, effective 14 April 2025.
Roger will oversee the resort’s reopening this spring, following a £20m refurbishment that aims to cement Mar Hall as a “premier international luxury destination” and further elevates Glasgow’s profile on the global travel stage.
With decades of experience in relaunching, repositioning, and leading heritage hotels and resorts, it said Roger is well placed to lead Mar Hall into its next chapter.
Originally from Glasgow, after completing his degree from the University of Edinburgh, Roger began his career with Malmaison and Hotel du Vin, rising quickly through the ranks. At just 27, he became the youngest general manager in the company’s history at Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells, before returning to Scotland to launch Malmaison Aberdeen and later lead the 5-star Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens.
In 2013, he joined Cameron House as operations director and later Resort director and, for over a decade, he led a team of 600 staff through two ownership changes and major refurbishments and expansion. Under his leadership, Cameron House achieved national and global recognition, earning 5 AA Red Stars for the first time in its history.
His most recent role was as CEO at Lost Shore Surf Resort, where he oversaw the launch of the world’s first inland surf Resort in November 2024.
Mar Hall said Roger’s appointment marks an “exciting new chapter” for Mar Hall, as the resort emerges from a multi-million-pound refurbishment across all areas. It said he will play a “pivotal role” in shaping Mar Hall’s programming and supporting the highly anticipated future phases of its growth, including the forthcoming development of a new Clubhouse, Spa and 48 woodland lodges.
Roger said: “I’m thrilled to begin this new chapter with Mar Hall. Returning to a more intimate resort setting is a welcome shift – it takes me back to my earlier roles, focussed on genuine, personal connections with both the team and our guests. Mar Hall has incredible advantages as a 240-acre country estate, close to Glasgow and as a gateway to the Highlands, and I’m looking forward to being part of its evolution as we expand over the coming years.”
