Following the continued expansion of Hyatt’s luxury brands
across Europe, the opening of SCHLOSS Roxburghe represents a
significant growth milestone for the Destination by Hyatt portfolio
in Europe as it joins 7Pines Resort Ibiza and 7Pines Resort
Sardinia.
“SCHLOSS Roxburghe is a property of distinction that is now
fully transformed into a luxurious and historic retreat,” said J�rg
Lindner, founder and managing partner at 12.18. Group. “We are
proud to realize this exciting project with Hyatt and add such an
incredible property to the diverse collection of luxury and upscale
independent hotels, resorts and residences within the Destination
by Hyatt portfolio.”
“As the first Hyatt hotel to open its doors in Scotland and the
14th property in the UK, this immersive country retreat reflects
the growing demand from World of Hyatt members and guests for
discovery-filled experiences in some of Britain’s most sought-after
locations,” said Arnaud de Saint-Exupery, area vice president of
Hyatt in the United Kingdom and Ireland. “We are delighted by the
introduction of this Destination by Hyatt property to our diverse
and fast-growing UK portfolio.”
Stylish, tranquil accommodations
Just a few miles from the scenic market town of Kelso, and an
hour from Edinburgh and Newcastle, SCHLOSS Roxburghe raises the bar
on luxury for travelers seeking a tranquil, rural escape in
Scotland. In keeping with the brand’s ambition to build a distinct
portfolio of luxury properties that connect guests with people,
cultures and places, the property capitalizes on the growing demand
from travelers seeking to escape their daily routine in style. The
extensive range of amenities across SCHLOSS Roxburghe’s 300 acres
of scenic countryside gives guests a true sense of place.
Formerly owned by the Duke of Roxburghe, the elegant countryside
retreat offers a total of 78 guestrooms and suites as well as 12
two-bedroom cottages, all within or near the historic manor house
and The Estate House. Looking ahead, the property is set to
introduce 50 additional cottages, planned to be available to guests
starting in 2023.
Located in the beautiful woodlands on the SCHLOSS Roxburghe
estate, surrounded by wildlife and right next to the golf course,
each of the 12 cottages benefits from having additional living
space, fitted kitchens and furnished garden terraces. These
additional amenities allow guests the added flexibility to
appreciate and take advantage of the hotel’s services while having
the option to enjoy an intimate dining experience provided by the
property or themselves in the privacy within their own
home-away-from-home.
Featuring striking high ceilings and decorated with a
combination of Scottish tartans, the 20 guestrooms and suites
located inside and adjacent to the historic main house feature oak
wood, natural stone, and sumptuous textiles. These beautifully
furnished rooms are each unique in character and highlight the
eternal beauty and history of the time-honored building.
Extravagant fittings and fixtures such as four-poster beds and
private balconies can be found within The Estate House too.
Offering some of the finest views of the estate, these 58
additional guestrooms are spacious and flooded with light,
providing stylish, yet modern comfort in the most enchanting of
settings.
Guests in all accommodation categories are able to take full
advantage of the wealth of facilities across the stately
grounds.
An oasis of calm
The 12,000 square foot (1,100 square meter) SCHLOSS Spa is a
first-class wellbeing facility which includes an outdoor heated
infinity swimming pool, complete with an underwater sound system.
It is accompanied by a plunge pool and hot tub, allowing guests to
truly soak up the hotel’s serene atmosphere.
To further set the stage for guests to dive into the estate’s
natural beauty while pampering their soul, the large, 6,400 square
foot (600 square meter) relaxation area features floor-to-ceiling
windows overlooking the landscaped grounds and rolling views toward
the Scottish Borders.
For the ultimate indulgence, three treatment rooms ensure guests
can take full advantage of the soothing range of natural treatments
available. The luxury spa also offers a fully equipped fitness
suite plus a rustic Finnish dry sauna and a glass-fronted aromatic
sauna, both with pool views.
The great outdoors
In addition to a myriad of scenic walking trails, the
dog-friendly facilities also include extensive outdoor pursuits,
ensuring anyone staying at SCHLOSS Roxburghe is perfectly placed to
take full advantage of the unspoiled countryside.
Capitalizing on its enviable surroundings, the property boasts
its own Country Sports Centre, ideal for those interested in
tapping into the wealth of more adventurous activities on their
doorstep. From salmon fishing along the River Teviot to field
sports such as archery and clay pigeon shooting, the venue’s expert
team will help unleash guests’ competitive sides in Scotland’s
spectacular countryside.
The hotel also offers an 18-hole championship golf course that
maximizes the landscape’s natural topography, embedded amongst
glorious rivers and mature woodlands, providing an enjoyable and
challenging game for golfers of every level.
Upscale Food and Beverage Experiences
Guests and local residents alike have two on-site gastronomic
experiences alongside a tearoom and various lounges to choose from,
each serving up a modern twist on traditional Scottish cuisine.
These include Charlie’s restaurant, with its curated
‘Scottish bistronomy’ themed menu and terrace, and the
cosmopolitan, fine cuisine of Sunlaws. The Drawing
Room, meanwhile, provides the perfect spot for a sumptuous
afternoon tea.
Under the guidance of the hotel’s culinary director Mark
Drummond, the gourmet menus prioritize fresh, local produce to help
elevate the hotel’s culinary experience. Having studied catering in
the Scottish Borders before working his way up the ranks in
prestigious London establishments, Drummond is perfectly placed to
provide guests with a truly memorable dining experience. Key to
showcasing the local area and delivering a modern twist on
traditional Scottish fare will be SCHLOSS Roxburghe’s ‘Estate to
plate’ philosophy, with many ingredients grown within the hotel’s
own grounds.
Guests also have a wide choice of places to enjoy a relaxing
beverage while taking in the spectacular views across the grounds.
Whether pulling up a stool at Bar 1745 – the sophisticated
and cozy library bar with a roaring open fire – or enjoying a fine
wine in the fire-lit State Room Lounge, there are plenty of
opportunities to relax in style.
The property’s purpose-built banqueting suite and extensive
meetings facilities also make the hotel an unforgettable choice for
weddings and conferences alike.
