Iconic Meldrum House Hotel welcomes new owners Apex Hotels

Edinburgh based Apex Hotels have acquired Meldrum House to add to their growing portfolio after it was sold by directors Bob Edwards and brothers David and Terry Buchan after 31 years.

Meldrum House will be Apex Hotel’s 10th hotel within their UK portfolio since the purchase of the Pine Trees Hotel in Pitlochry last July.

Apex Hotels is a family-owned 4-star hotel group with chic city centre and rural properties. The company currently owns eight city centre hotels in some of the UK’s most popular destinations - London, Bath, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee - and one rural hotel in Pitlochry

Chief Executive Officer of Apex Hotels, Angela Vickers said; “After a strong trading period across our portfolio, the acquisition of Meldrum House represents an opportunity to continue to diversify Apex Hotels, giving our guests even more choice of a city or countryside option. This is an exciting time for the company and after getting to know the team at Meldrum House it was clear they share the same aims and ambitions we have at Apex. Meldrum House will be one of our flagship hotels and we are delighted to be the next custodians of this historic property.”

Jordan Charles will remain as Managing Director of the hotel and golf course, supported by our existing team. He commented; “This is a great opportunity for Meldrum House as we have had a couple of record years of performance and solid economic growth. The new owners have great plans, vision and ambitions and I look forward to helping them drive the business forward with our team.”
