After more than a decade in the planning, construction work is expected to begin in the early New Year on a new £60million 300-bedroom hotel on a 21-acre riverside site at Kinfauns near Perth in Scotland.
The hotel at Kinfauns will be located just off the A85 Perth-Dundee road, three miles from Perth and overlooking the River Tay.
The hotel is also expected to incorporate major conference and exhibition space, restaurants and bars as well as a health club and spa and a theatre.
If all goes to plan the hotel should be opening mid-2017.
