Five star hotel falls into administration with almost 120 jobs at risk

A five star hotel in Renfrewshire has collapsed into administration, with nearly 120 jobs on the line.

The Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort in Bishopton, two miles south of Erskine, sits on a 240-acre woodland estate and employs some 118 staff.

The luxury hotel has played host to a long list of celebrities over the years, including Coldplay, Katy Perry, Harry Styles, Brad Pitt, Liam Gallagher, Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran.

In a statement on its website on Friday, hotel bosses said administrators from EY-Parthenon’s Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy team have been appointed as Joint Administrators of Mar Estates Limited.

It boasts a swimming pool, gym and 18-hole golf course which hosts Pro-Am tournaments throughout the year.
