Knockendarroch Hotel is set to reopen on February 7, 2025, and has plans to build an additional eight bedrooms.

Norbert Lieder, ICMI’s managing director, said: “We are so happy to welcome Knockendarroch and its excellent team to the ICMI fold.

“With hotels across some of Scotland’s most popular rural locations, it feels like we are meant to have a presence in beautiful Pitlochry.

“The previous owners significantly upgraded the hotel, and it is extremely well run. We look forward to continuing to deliver the same high standard of service.”

Owners Struan and Louise Lothian said: “We have owned Knockendarroch for ten years and loved every minute.

“The business has grown consistently over that time and thrived as part of an increasingly bustling visitor offering in Pitlochry.

“ICMI is one of the best management companies in the hotel business, and we believe they will take Knockendarroch to the next level.”
