Thomas Johnstone Ltd, a renowned fit-out contractor, has been selected to undertake a multi-million-pound refurbishment project at Crieff Hydro Hotel. The project will involve creating a new day-to-night bar, upgrading dining areas, and introducing a stylish speakeasy bar.

Despite the extensive renovations, Crieff Hydro Hotel will remain open throughout the project, thanks to Thomas Johnstone's expertise in working in live hotel environments. The company's attention to detail and in-house capabilities will ensure minimal disruption to guests and operations.

The project is the vision of the sixth generation of the Leckie family, who own Crieff Hydro. Work is set to commence in January 2025, with the new areas expected to open in the Spring.

Campbell Ross, Regional Construction Director, Thomas Johnstone, commented: "We are delighted to bring our reputation for delivering excellence to this project at Crieff Hydro. Sharing a heritage with Crieff Hydro, also established in 1868, makes this collaboration feel especially meaningful as we work with the wider design team to create these new spaces to elevate the hotel's guest experience."

Charlie Leckie, Associate Director, Crieff Hydro, said: "The nature of this project in an open hotel means it needs to be carried out as quickly as possible with little disruption to our guests. We have a longstanding team of outstanding professionals who have brought particular expertise to the project and are pleased to have found a suitably experienced and enthusiastic lead contractor in Thomas Johnstone Ltd who started out in business in the same year as Crieff Hydro - 1868."
