Glasgow hotel changes hands
The Ramada Glasgow Airport will be overhauled following a change in ownership.
The Cairn Group has purchased the 114-bedroom property and plans to invest £8m on a refurbishment over the next 12 months.
Group sales director Tina O’Hara said: "The Ramada at Glasgow Airport realises presence in a strategic location and complements our other five properties in Scotland.
"We have been looking to acquire in Glasgow for some time, and this opportunity fits perfectly into our ambitious expansion plans.
"The hotel will have synergy with our Newcastle International Airport hotel DoubleTree by Hilton."
The hotel will remain in operation throughout the refurbishment and there will be no job losses.
The Cairn Group, based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, operates 24 hotels in the UK>
It operates under several brands, including DoubleTree by Hilton, Crowne Plaza, Best Western, and Holiday Inn.
