Hotel operator De Vere, is to invest £60m in the creation of ‘urban village resorts’ in Scotland which will create 350 new jobs.
De Vere has chosen the following locations for the resorts- Crew Toll in Edinbugh, Prime Four Business Park in Kingswell, Aberdeen, and Pacific Quay in Glasgow which was announced last year.
Each resort will provide hotel accommodation, a Velocity health and fitness centre, eating and drinking facilities including restaurants, bars and coffee houses and dedicated meeting and conferencing facilities and event space for weddings and other social gatherings.
It is hoped the resorts will be ready ahead of national events around Scotland in 2014 including the Commonwealth Games.
De Vere Village Urban Resorts plans to roll out further properties across the UK, focusing its sights next on university towns including York, Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol.
