Three reasons to choose a career with Crerar Hotels

Destination locations

Scotland provides a sought-after quality of life, ideal for outdoorsy types. Urbanites may find there are limitations, with reduced public transport, small local shops and occasionally - the ultimate modern hardship - patchy phone signal. But those who take that in their stride find that they discover true peace and quiet, wake up to incredible scenery and have Scotland's natural larder to feast on daily.

Talent development

We always aim to progress staff internally where possible, which means a number of our team have been with us long-term. They've chosen to make a life in one (or more!) of our locations, building themselves a varied career in the Scottish hospitality industry.

Shaped by our values

We share the spirit of Scotland through our values. We take

pride

in providing a truly

authentic

experience we're

warm

in personality,

curious

to get to know our guests and

confident

in sharing our knowledge. We take what we do seriously, but our

humour

means we also see the lighter side. Above all, we're comfortable saying, "we are who we are!"
