A key construction milestone has been reached on a hotel development in Aberdeen.

The projects, by Dominvs Hospitality, is the Aberdeen Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza Hotel, are located on the site of Aberdeen airport.

A 'topping out' ceremony was recently held to mark the milestone, which signified the projects have reached their maximum height and structural frameworks are now complete.

The three-star Holiday Inn Express will feature 193 bedrooms, one meeting room and a 150-seat restaurant, while the four-star Crowne Plaza will feature 165 bedrooms, seven meeting rooms, two banqueting suites and a 220-seat restaurant.


Construction work started in March 2014, and the hotels are expected to open in June and September 2015, respectively.

Dominvs Hospitality's professional team includes McAleer and Rushe as the design and build contractor, Dexter Moren Associates as interior designer and Urban Innovations as architect.

Sean Brookes, Dominvs Hospitality, said: "This is a proud day for both the team and I at Dominvs Hospitality. It's fantastic to be able to see the hotels rapidly nearing completion, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us in getting to this stage."

Mark Diamond, Contracts Director at McAleer Rushe, added: "We are very pleased to celebrate the topping out of the Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza along with Dominvs Hospitality. This is the first of several schemes currently underway in the McAleer & Rushe and Dominvs partnership."
