Strathmore Hotels has appointed Interpath as administrators after coming under sustained creditor pressure.
Alistair McAlinden and James Dewar of Interpath were appointed joint administrators to Strathmore Hotels Limited on 11 August 2026. The East Kilbride-based company owns and operates eight hotels across Scotland and the north of England: the Alexandra Hotel and Ben Nevis Hotel and Country Club in Fort William; the Ben Wyvis Hotel in Strathpeffer; the Cairn Hotel in Harrogate; the Cumbria Grand Hotel in the Lake District; the Nethybridge Hotel near Aviemore; the Royal Hotel in Oban; and the Salutation Hotel in Perth.
The company had been under creditor pressure for several months and became subject to a winding-up petition in July 2026. The administrators will now assess the options available for the business. All eight hotels will remain open while the review takes place, with around 410 employees retained by the administrators to support the business.
McAlinden said: “The hospitality sector has faced a number of significant challenges in recent years, including rising operating costs, inflationary pressures, workforce shortages and changing consumer spending patterns. Unfortunately, Strathmore Hotels has not been immune to these headwinds and has also experienced sustained financial difficulties, resulting in the appointment of the joint administrators.
“Our immediate priority is to ensure continuity across the business. We recognise that this news may be concerning for employees, customers and suppliers. However, we would like to reassure all stakeholders that it is very much business as usual across the portfolio and we encourage guests to continue visiting the hotels as normal while we explore the best possible outcome for the business.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
