A New Chapter for an Old Friend: The Angus Hotel Lift Upgrade

Every building has its quirks, and the Angus Hotel is no exception. One of the most distinctive features of our rear wing was the installation of our original lift. Over the decades it has been carefully serviced and overhauled, carrying countless guests and countless memories.

However, earlier this year, our faithful lift finally reached the end of its working life. We were faced with a decision: one more major overhaul, or a complete replacement. After careful consideration, including lifespan costs, timescales, and guest experience, we made the choice to commission a brand-new lift.

Because our hotel is not a "modern box," the new lift has to be custom-built to fit its space. The manufacturing drawings are now complete, and production is underway. We're making plans for the old one to be removed, so that once the new one is delivered, we'll have the space ready for it to be installed – a process we'll keep you informed about.

While we know this is not the easiest period to be without a lift, we hope you'll see it as an exciting moment in the long history of the Angus Hotel. The new lift is projected to be up and running in time for the holidays, ready to serve a new generation of guests.

We'll share progress updates here as the project moves along.
