(TAN): Hyatt Hotels has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement which will result in the debut of the Destination by Hyatt brand in Scotland, as well as in the UK.

The charming historic estate and its expansive, stately grounds will be fully transformed into a luxury retreat with the addition of 58 rooms and suites to the property’s existing accommodations, as well as 12 cottages, expected to be complete by late 2022.
