Johannesburg, Apr 2 (ANI): Wimbledon champion Andy Murray's luxury hotel has reportedly opened officially in his Scottish hometown of Dunblane and he hopes that the business will boost the economy of the town.
The British No.1 bought Cromlix House, a Victorian mansion dating from 1874 and set in woodlands near Dunblane in central Scotland, in February last year for a reported 1.8 million pounds and transformed it into a 15-bedroom, five-star retreat.
According to Sport24, Murray hopes that the hotel will create up to 40 jobs in Dunblane, adding that he is pleased to be able to give something back to the community where he grew up in.
Murray further said that by re-establishing Cromlix as a leading luxury hotel at the heart of the Dunblane community, they would be able to attract new visitors to the area, create a number of new jobs and focus on supporting other local businesses.
The report mentioned that the former country house, which features ten bedrooms and five suites overlooking manicured grounds and tennis courts, has been renovated to show off much of its original heritage, including a private chapel and fishing lake.
Prices for double rooms during the summer peak start at 250 pounds a night and activities in the local area include hunting, fishing and golf, including the Gleneagles course that plays host to this year's Ryder Cup between Europe and the United States, the report added. (ANI)
