Glasgow Westerwood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort has announced the appointment of John Abercrombie as its new General Manager, marking a return to the hotel in which his hospitality career first began.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Campsie Hills, Glasgow Westerwood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is a premier destination for leisure, events and premium golfing. With a vision to strengthen the resort’s reputation and drive forward its ongoing investments, John is set to lead the hotel into a new era of excellence.
Abercrombie started at Glasgow Westerwood in junior roles in 2010. He worked across various departments before being promoted into management under the mentorship of former General Manager Richard Mayne. He later joined Radisson, where he progressed through several managerial roles across sites in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and York. Abercrombie was the first graduate of Radisson’s global General Manager programme to be appointed as a GM and most recently served as General Manager for Radisson York.
In his new position, John will oversee planned investments for 2025, which include the refurbishment of 50 bedrooms, continued improvements following last year’s restaurant and lounge renovation, enhancements to leisure facilities, and major golf course upgrades, encompassing signage, bunker renovations, greenkeeping, and site drainage improvements. Over half a million pounds has already been invested in the resort in recent months, with further upgrades scheduled throughout the rest of this year.
John’s leadership aims to position the hotel as a leading four-star destination, focused on high service standards, continuous improvement, and enhanced guest experiences, thereby ensuring it remains a top choice for leisure guests, families, corporate visitors and golf enthusiasts. He is committed to building a strong team culture, developing department heads, and investing in future talent to support the next generation of hospitality professionals.
