Bespoke Hotels recently made a significant acquisition by purchasing four luxury landmark hotels in highland towns from Coast & Country Hotels. The hotels involved in the transaction are the Caledonian Hotel in Fort William, the Great Western Hotel in Oban, the Pitlochry Hydro, and the Marine Hotel in Llandudno.
