UK: RAD Hotel Group has acquired the five-star Lochgreen House Hotel & Spa in Troon, Scotland.
The acquisition brings the family-run group’s portfolio to 10 hotels across Scotland. Lochgreen is its first five-star property and further strengthens RAD Hotel Group’s position in Scotland’s luxury hospitality, dining, and wedding markets, championing Ayrshire as a destination.
Renowned for its spa, accommodation, and wedding offering, Lochgreen is close to the Royal Troon golf course.
The deal was completed following an agreement with hotelier Bill Costley, whose stewardship of the property has helped cement Lochgreen’s reputation as one of Scotland’s top hotels and wedding venues.
The group has pledged to honour the legacy of both Lochgreen House Hotel and Bill Costley’s contribution to Ayrshire hospitality, with plans to preserve many of the property’s historic features and rich history into future interior design and guest spaces.
Originally built as a private mansion in the early 19th century, Lochgreen House Hotel & Spa has evolved into one of Scotland’s most distinguished country house hotels while retaining its period character, architectural elegance and reputation for excellence.
Aaron Kyle, director at RAD Hotel Group, said: “As one Ayrshire family-owned business succeeds another, we are incredibly proud to welcome Lochgreen House Hotel into the RAD Hotel Group collection. More than two years in the making, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of Scotland’s most treasured hospitality destinations. Becoming custodians of Lochgreen is a responsibility we take with great pride, and one we are committed to honouring every day.”
“Bill Costley has created something truly special at Lochgreen and, as he steps into a well-deserved retirement, our priority is to protect and build upon the remarkable legacy he leaves behind. The trust he has placed in RAD Hotel Group means a great deal to us, and we are committed to preserving everything that has made Lochgreen one of Scotland’s most respected hotels while continuing to deliver the exceptional hospitality and service our guests expect. We are excited to write the next chapter in Lochgreen’s story, welcoming visitors from around the world while continuing to be a place where local families and generations of guests come together to celebrate life’s most memorable moments. Our ambition is simple to ensure Lochgreen continues to thrive for generations to come,” he added.
The acquisition of Lochgreen follows the purchase of the boutique nine-bed Seamill House Hotel in West Kilbride earlier this month.
The RAD Hotel Group, owned by Robert and Vivien Kyle, has been operating for more than 20 years. The group’s portfolio includes 10 hotels across Scotland.
