50 New Hospitality Jobs for Aberdeen
A £30 million Aberdeen hotel opened its doors to the public yesterday in the city centre.
The 185-bedroom Park Inn in Justice Mill Lane, welcomed its first guests two years after the first turf was cut in the multimillion-pound iQ office and hotel development at the site.
The six-storey venue, part of international hotel group Rezidor, features eight meeting rooms and a gym as well as RBG, a restaurant and bar and has created 50 new hospitality jobs.
General manager David Allan said the hotel’s focus on “true Scottish hospitality” would set it apart from others in the city.
He said: “We have a fantastic location in the city centre.
“We believe the hotel will be a real asset to the city and a major contributor to the local community.”
More than 300 people from all over the world applied for the 50 positions on offer at the hotel.
Mr Allan said: “I’m confident we have first-class staff to match what I’m confident will be a first-class hotel.”
First Minister Alex Salmond, who cut the first turf on the development, said: “The hotel has not only created 50 jobs but will be a major contributor to the local economy.
“This opening is a clear demonstration that, in spite of very challenging times facing the sector, Scotland’s tourism businesses continue to play an important role in achieving sustainable economic development.”
