Former Aberdeen department store could be new hotel
A former department store in Aberdeen could be a new boutique hotel, if local planners give consent.
The local Press and Journal reports that planning permission has been requested to turn the building that was once home to Esslemont and Macintosh into a 48-bedroom hotel.
Esslemont and Macintosh was establised in Aberdeen‘s Union Street in 1873. It was purchased by Liverpool-based department store group, Owen Owen, in 2005 and just two years later, they went into administration and the famous store was closed down.
