SWALLOW HOTELS' parent company has brought in the administrators after admitting to struggling for some time in the face of heavy losses.
Swallow is the largest hotel chain in Scotland with around 40 properties, while its English portfolio consists of around another 100.
Maidstone-based London & Swallow Group's administration order covers 671 sites with over 7,000 employees.
As recently as this March it spent £20m on six golf hotels in Scotland. Its chief executive Peter Gray left the business in August.
