Historic Dundee Hotel Reopens Under DoubleTree by Hilton
July 1, 2013 - DoubleTree by Hilton is offering visitors to Dundee and Perthshire a glimpse of the majesty of Victorian Scotland with the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Dundee. In partnership with RedefineBDL, the former Landmark Hotel today completed its £1million refurbishment to become the upscale brand's third Scottish property and its 21st across the UK.
The hotel is set within the grounds of a converted private family residence whose original classical period design and intricate Latin inscriptions remain largely untouched. The listed building dates back to 1870, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the elegance of Victorian high society. Guests are free to explore the surrounding six acres of landscaped and maintained gardens complete with an ornate Italian style maze and fountain.
Simon Vincent, president, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide, said, “Scotland remains one of the most popular destinations for our guests and DoubleTree by Hilton Dundee is a great addition to our 14 strong Scottish portfolio. The hotel was recently named Dundee Hotel of the Year at the 2013 Scottish Hotel Awards and we are delighted to be bringing it under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand at a time when Scotland is gearing up for a huge year of tourism with its hosting of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup.”
Located just off the A90, the main road into the city of Dundee, and only 3 kilometres from Dundee Airport the hotel provides an easily accessible location whilst maintaining a unique sense of heritage and nature. The surrounding region offers rich pickings for golfers with local courses including Downcraig, Scotsfield and Alyth. The legendary St Andrews Old Course, recognized as the spiritual home of the sport, is also a short drive across the Tay Bridge.
Each of the 92 guestrooms have received a thorough upgrade reflecting DoubleTree by Hilton's upscale offering. The hotel features a new fully equipped health club complete with indoor swimming pool and offers free internet throughout the property. Fine dining is available on site through the AA rosette winning Maze Restaurant featuring innovative British cuisine. Housed in an eye catching glass house offering resplendent views of the horticultural gardens the venue provides a charming setting for weddings and functions. Guests can also enjoy casual dishes and drinks from The Lounge Bar.
