McMillan Hotels is a hotel chain based in Stranraer, Scotland. The hotel group has a portfolio of 3 hotels across Scotland, operating in the three and four star sector.

## History

[edit]

The hotel group was initially created after hotelier Hammy McMillan decided to renovate the North West Castle in his hometown of Stranraer in 1961.[1] It later became the first hotel in the world with an indoor curling ice rink,[2] and continues to welcome curlers from all over the world.[citation needed]

Today, the hotel group continues to be owned and run by the McMillan family. The hotel group is involved in local weddings and events, and in curling and golf.[3] North West Castle hosts curling events throughout the season from October to April.[citation needed] Cally Palace Hotel & Golf course has an 18-hole parkland golf course. Fernhill Hotel has views over the village and harbour of Portpatrick.[citation needed]
