Swallow Hotels

Swallow Hotels was an Edinburgh-based hotel chain with a portfolio of 18 hotels, operating in the three and four star sector.

History

By the 1990s, the Vaux Group had expanded into hotels. The company changed its name to Swallow Group plc, concentrating on the hotels business and incorporating the former Vaux-managed pub estate under the Swallow Inns & Restaurants brand.[1]

The Swallow Group was bought by Whitbread in January 2000.[2] Whitbread sold the pubs to Enterprise Inns in May 2000.[2]

The Swallow brand was subsequently purchased in 2003 by London Inn Group.[3] The hotels traded under the name London & Edinburgh Inns Ltd and went into administration on 14 September 2006.[4]

On 4 August 2009 the Stockton-on-Tees Swallow Hotel closed, as the administrators 'could not trade the hotel profitably'.[5] Its last remaining hotel, in Glasgow, near Ibrox Stadium, was closed in 2014.[6]

gollark: £250? As I said before, this seems high.
gollark: Yes, iff I am the maximum rank, above all others, and cannot be removed from it or made not highest in any way.
gollark: It's not a statement about intelligence - as far as I can tell most people have no idea how the fairly interesting technology driving this sort of thing (and basically everything *else* in computing) actually works, don't particularly care, and resist being told about it.↓ below person: this is relevant information which people considering buying it should probably know, so that they can use their money effectively
gollark: No, I mean the predictive text probably will get better at some point because of this sort of thing, and then I suppose you'll just ignore it and assume it magically gets better by magic.
gollark: This is also possible.
