Swallow Hotels was anEdinburgh-basedhotel chain with a portfolio of 18 hotels, operating in the three and fourstar sector.
By the 1990s, theVaux Group had expanded into hotels. The company changed its name to Swallow Group plc, concentrating on the hotels business and incorporating the former Vaux-managed pub estate under theSwallow Inns & Restaurants brand.[citation needed]
The Swallow Group was bought byWhitbread in January 2000. Whitbread sold the pubs toEnterprise Inns in May 2000.[citation needed]
The Swallow brand was subsequently purchased in 2003 by London Inn Group.[1] The hotels traded under the name London & Edinburgh Inns Ltd and went into administration on 14 September 2006.[2]
On 4 August 2009 the Stockton-on-Tees Swallow Hotel closed, as the administrators 'could not trade the hotel profitably'.[3] Its last remaining hotel, inGlasgow, nearIbrox Stadium, was closed in 2014.[4]
