Celebrities. Those extraordinary individuals that we can’t seem to get enough of and want to know everything about. When they aren’t starring in blockbuster films, achieving sporting greatness or melting the nation’s hearts with their vocals, some like to dabble in the world of commercial property investment. Here are 5 celebrities you may not know who own hotels.
1. Andy Murray – Cromlix
Back in early 2013, the tennis star purchased Cromlix, located in Perthshire, Scotland for £1.8 million. Before it even opened in April 2014, rooms were fully booked.
