Privately owned leading Scottish hotel company Crerar Hotels has announces the launch of Scottish Hospitality for Heroes.
This initiative will give the company and the public an opportunity to express their gratitude to the heroes within the NHS that continue to work tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 crisis.
The Scottish Hospitality for Heroes campaign will begin with two key initiatives as part of the launch which will give these heroes an opportunity to experience the true “Spirit of Scotland” through Crerar’s Spiorad na h-Alba hospitality and outstanding locations.
Once the lockdown is lifted and travel restrictions are eased, the company will announce a chosen weekend in 2020 when all Crerar Hotels will be given over exclusively to NHS, care workers and their families.
Every Crerar Hotel including Inverurie's Thainstone House and the Golf View in Nairn will give every bedroom, executive room and suite to this for a very special exclusive Friday and Saturday night stay.
In addition to the free stay, dinner and breakfast during the stay will be gifted and there will even be wine to toast with.
Across Crerar Hotels that weekend there will be close to 2000 NHS workers and family enjoying a “night away” on Scottish hospitality.
Crerar Hotels CEO, Chris Wayne-Wills, said: “We are determined to make this as big a thank you as we can.
"Already we have been really encouraged by the reaction of the loyal Crerar guests we have contacted to ask that their bookings get moved to free up the availability we need (date can only be confirmed after lock down lifted).
“Every single one has said yes and more - many turning their deposit into a donation to help the big thank you.
“ Of course for those that do this we will make sure in every room given through that kindness there’s a wee something extra, and a letter of gratitude is left for the NHS/Carer hero on behalf of the Crerar guest that has gifted it.”
Crerar Hotels will also be working to encourage local hospitality businesses and local people to get behind this big thank you.
CEO Chris Wayne-Wills, said: "This is everyone’s business and a chance for everyone to say thank you, when we welcome these frontline heroes we’d like to have help from our local partners and we are talking with them right now.
“ Tickets to distilleries, wildlife boat trips, a fiddler for entertainment, access to museums, a cask of beer behind the bar from a local brewery or whatever a local can give would be great.
"Everybody can make this their special thank you.”
NHS workers can register their interest in applying for a free weekend break by emailing from an NHS account to hospitalityforheroes@crerarhotels.com
