Glendola Leisure purchases Saltire Taverns
Glendola Leisure have announced the purchase of Saltire Taverns in Edinburgh from local operator Billy Lowe.

Glendola will take over established bar and restaurant businesses le Monde on George Street and Angels Share on Hope Street as well as 48 hotel rooms in the complex.

Alex Salussolia, managing director at Glendola Leisure said: “We currently operate a number of businesses in Scotland so are delighted to add to our portfolio by taking over these successful operations.

"We intend to work with Billy going forward and use our expertise in the hotel and leisure sector to build on his success.

"We are thrilled to be entering the hotel market in the city and are looking forward to growing the business even further with a 4* 98 room Design Hotel on Market Street, due to open towards the end of 2017 by Carlton Hotel Collection (sister company of Glendola Leisure).”

The news follows the purchase four years ago of two Frankenstein bars in Edinburgh and Glasgow from Saltire Taverns.

Glendola also run the Waxy O'Connor's bars in Glasgow, Manchester and London as well as several other London bars, including The World's End and Underworld in Camden.
