Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with the 12.18. Group for Schloss Roxburghe Hotel and Golf Course.
The full-service luxury property will mark the debut of the Destination by Hyatt brand in Scotland, as well as in the United Kingdom.
A one hour drive from both Edinburgh and Newcastle airports, the countryside property dates back to the 12th Century and was formerly owned by the Duke of Roxburghe.
Hyatt will add 58 rooms and suites to the property’s existing accommodations, as well as 12 cottages, expected to be complete by late 2022.
The estate guestrooms and suites will be spread across three areas: the main historic house with 20 individual rooms and suites, the Estate House with 58 rooms and suites, and 61 cottages that overlook the estate’s grounds, each to be fitted with personal kitchens, living areas and patios.
The property will also feature two restaurants, three bars, two lounges, a 6,458-square-foot spa facility with two saunas and outdoor infinity pool and four meeting spaces with up to 1,689 square feet.
Felicity Black-Roberts, Hyatt’s vice president of development, Europe, said: “Schloss Roxburghe Hotel and Golf Course is a property of distinction and an exciting milestone for the growth of the Destination by Hyatt portfolio in the region.
“Our latest collaboration with the 12.18. Group is a testament to the value Hyatt places on nurturing meaningful, strategic relationships with owners to create luxury hotels and resorts in sought-after destinations that matter to our guests and World of Hyatt members. The desire for travel in the luxury segment remains steadfast, and this project is set to cater to luxury travellers, both international and locals alike, in one of the country’s most exquisite locations.”
