Historic Estate Near Edinburgh to Become First Destination by Hyatt Hotel in UK

Dark/Light Mode (06/10/22)  Hyatt has entered into a franchise agreement with the 12.18. Group to debut of the Destination by Hyatt brand in Scotland, as well as in the United Kingdom.

Located one hour by car from both Edinburgh and Newcastle airports, the Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course has a rich history that dates to the 12th century and was formerly owned by the Duke of Roxburghe.

The charming historic estate and its expansive, stately grounds will be fully transformed into a luxury retreat with 58 rooms and suites, as well as 12 cottages, added to the property’s existing accommodation options by late 2022. An additional 49 cottages are scheduled to open by 2024.

“Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course is a property of distinction and an exciting milestone for the growth of the Destination by Hyatt portfolio in the region,” said Felicity Black-Roberts, Hyatt’s vice president of development, Europe. “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 travelers, both international and locals alike, in one of the country’s most exquisite locations.”

Guests will find fire-lit lounges and bars decorated with the Duke of Roxburghe’s original tartan, contrasted with contemporary finishes such as stone and wood textures and natural color palettes.

The estate’s luxurious 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 lush grounds, each to be fitted with personal kitchens, snug living areas and secluded patios.

Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course will feature two restaurants, three bars and two lounges that will deliver home grown, locally sourced and seasonal Scottish produce.

A 6,458-square-foot (600-sqm) spa facility with two saunas and outdoor infinity pool will join the estate’s existing amenities, including a purpose-built banqueting suite. There will also be four meeting spaces with up to 1,689 square feet (157 sqm) of space.

The property will offer a wide range of sporting pursuits and activities. From walks in the countryside to archery, tomahawk throwing and clay-pigeon shooting, as well as angling in the River Teviot, and of course, golfing the property’s championship-grade golf course.

“Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course is 12.18.’s third project with Hyatt to join the Destination by Hyatt portfolio,” said Jörg Lindner, founder and managing partner at 12.18. group. “With its impressive heritage and stunning location, Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course is poised to offer guests a stay like no other. The new concept demonstrates how Hyatt and 12.18. collaborate to rethink the luxury hotel space in Europe.”

Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Golf Course will be the second Hyatt-branded property in Scotland, joining the recently announced Hyatt Centric Edinburgh Haymarket.
