We tip our hats to all the Scottish Hotels and accommodation providers that have been able to make their beds available to key workers during lockdown.
Almost 200 hotels have made over 20,000 beds available around the UK for NHS staff and other vital workers, following a call from hospitality trade body UKHospitality.
Beds in hotels across the country have been provided by hotels of differing size, from national chains to single sites, to help house key workers being deployed to areas of high need.

UKHospitality Chief Executive Kate Nicholls said:
“This is an unprecedented crisis and the strain being placed on businesses, key workers and the NHS is visible. At such a time, it is vital that the nation’s resources are best used to support those who need it and help us all get through. It is very heartening to see so many hotels make themselves available to help host NHS staff and other vital workers. The hospitality sector has been devastated by the crisis and hotels have been forced to weather a huge blow. Many companies have already looked to help by providing beds and it is great that so many more have answered UKH’s call to provide support where it is needed most. Housing key workers in hotels that are otherwise sitting empty will, we hope, ease the strain on those services battling to tackle the spread of the coronavirus. It could also help save hotels at very real risk of going out of business and keep people in work at a time when many people’s jobs are at risk. UKHospitality will be liaising with the Government to offer its support and we are ready to help coordinate any efforts to support businesses, staff and emergency services.”
