MacDonald Hotels are set to launch new leisure facilities in a range of its sites in part of a huge £2.5 million investment boost. The investment will go toward improving equipment and updating interiors in its resorts and hotels. 16 renovated leisure suites will be fitted with the latest technology allowing guests to experience their newly updated Vital Health and Wellbeing brand by the end of February. Revamping the facilities of a hotel chain like this is incredibly important as it can help keep up with modern times and potentially bring more people in. Looking at things like toilet partitions made of glass, new sinks with no-touch features, handsfree dryers, etc. will appeal to users who are looking for a more up-to-date experience.

MacDonald Hotels operates 53 hotels in the UK, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland. The group employs 3,500 staff to look after its 4,000 hotel rooms and leisure facilities. In light of growing concern over the future of hospitality, MacDonald Hotels have announced their massive investment.

The group director of golf, leisure, and spa, Keith Pickard, explains: “The multi-million-pound investment reaffirms our commitment to providing guests with the very best state-of-the-art fitness and spa facilities, building on our already high standards. We know just how important our modern gyms and unique spas are to our guests especially at a time of year when many are on a health kick following the festive season – and we are excited to continue to provide market-leading facilities.”

The venture starts in the groups Falkirk Hotel, Macdonald Inchrya Hotel, and will finish at the Livingston hotel, Macdonald Houstoun House. The new suites will be connected to the internet to allow for video streaming and allowing guests to train independently or in groups. The new face of the Vital Health and Wellbeing brand is said to be making the most of the “January Effect”. The new kit involves interactive SE3 cardio machines, IC6 Myride indoor cycle spinners and PowerMill Climbers.
