Crowne Plaza for Aberdeen

Cairn Hotel Group has announced plans to refurbish and rename the Station Hotel in Aberdeen and the Royal British Hotel in Princes Street Edinburgh. They are among four UK properties which will be upgraded, following a £31.5m refinancing deal with HSBC. The refurbishment programme is part of an agreement with the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), which will see the hotels adopt IHG brands while Cairn retains ownership and management of the properties. The Station Hotel will become a Crowne Plaza while the Royal British Hotel will become a Hotel Indigo.
