Aberdeen Altens Hotel joins Redefine BDL portfolio


A popular Aberdeen Hotel has become the second city property to sign with the UK’s leading hotel management company in recent weeks.

The four star Aberdeen Altens Hotel joined Redefine|BDL Hotels’ (RBH) portfolio on 1 December.

The takeover follows the announcement that Hilton Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre – due to open its doors in 2019 – will also be operated by the hotel management experts.

The outfit’s 45-strong portfolio already includes private label and branded properties, including IHG, Hilton, Accor, Marriott, Best Western and Wyndham hotels.

Stewart Campbell, Managing Director of RBH - the UK’s leading hotel management company, said,“The Aberdeen market is a key area of interest for us at the moment, as we look to grow our presence in and around the city.

“A city landmark, Aberdeen Altens is much-loved by leisure and business travellers alike. It will sit well within our extensive portfolio, and we’re looking forward to getting down to business.

“What’s more our partnership with this, the largest trading hotel in Aberdeen, officially marks our entrance into the Aberdeen market.”

Just three miles from the city centre, the 216 bedroom Aberdeen Altens Hotel boasts a health and leisure club, indoor pool, spa pool, steam room and gym, as well as a Starbucks, free car parking and free WiFi.

Its 12 meeting rooms can accommodate up to 400 delegates and it is home to the popular Cairngorm bar and restaurant.
