7 Hospitality Management has announced the appointment of Philip Egan as the new general manager of Dalhousie Castle Hotel and Spa, as the property undergoes a £5m refurbishment programme.
7H said Egan brings with him a wealth of industry expertise and a proven track record in luxury hotel leadership. Having held senior roles at UK and Ireland properties, his appointment marks a “significant step” forward for Dalhousie Castle as it embarks on this exciting new chapter under the guidance of 7 Hospitality Management.
Set within a 13th-Century fortress surrounded by parkland, Dalhousie Castle Hotel and Spa is a destination for exclusive use weddings, spa retreats, and fine dining.
The ongoing refurbishment will include upgraded guest rooms, revitalised public areas – which includes a new central bar, enhanced events and dining spaces, and improved back-of-house operations.
Conner Hutchison, head of Brand and Communications at 7 Hospitality Management, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Philip to the 7 Hospitality family. With a property as historically significant and unique as Dalhousie Castle, it’s vital to have a leader who understands both tradition and transformation. Philip’s depth of experience and vision will be key in bringing our £5m refurbishment project to life and enhancing every aspect of the guest journey.”
Philip Egan added: “It’s an honour to be joining Dalhousie Castle during this exciting time of transformation. The castle is not only a place of incredible history, but also of enormous potential. I’m excited to work with the team to deliver a refreshed and reimagined experience that honours its legacy while looking firmly to the future.”
