Staff at Renfrewshire's only five-star hotel face an uncertain future after the business fell into administration.
Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort, located on a 240-acre woodland estate in Bishopton, currently employs over 100 staff.
Management consulting company EY-Parthenon's Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy team was appointed as joint administrators of Mar Estates Limited on Tuesday, August 22.
A statement issued by EY-Parthenon confirmed the Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort would continue to trade as usual while a potential sale of the business is explored.
It reads: "On August 22, 2023, Andrew Dolliver, Kris Aspin and Luke Charleton of EY-Parthenon's Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy team were appointed as Joint Administrators of Mar Estates Limited, trading as Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort (“the Resort”).
"Located on a 240-acre woodland estate, Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort is a five-star luxury hotel near Glasgow, employing 118 staff.
"The Resort continues to trade on a business-as-usual basis.
"Existing bookings and gift vouchers remain valid. Any customer enquiries should be directed to info@marhall.com.
"The Resort will be marketed for sale, with the Joint Administrators anticipating significant interest for this high-profile asset.
"Experienced hotel operators Michels & Taylor have been instructed to support the Joint Administrators in managing the Resort, pending a sale."
