Formerly part of the small Crerar Hotels group, which was bought out in March, 2023 by Blantyre Capital and Fairtree Hotels. The Crerar group spent £2m. over 2 years refurbishing the hotel's rooms and the business is now being marketed as a 5-star hotel.

The ethos of the business is to source as locally as possible and it is likely that the nearby Braemar Brewery's products will shortly feature, alongside Cairngorm's.

Information for this venue is provided by the Aberdeen Grampian & N Isles Branch of CAMRA
