We guide restaurants, hotels and hospitality businesses from the first idea through setup, refurbishment and delivery, with independent advice and careful attention to detail.

Consultancy

Independent advice for new and established hotels, restaurants and hospitality ventures.

Setup and delivery

Restaurants, hotels and serviced accommodation planned, fitted out and opened.

Project management

Clear planning, budgets and reporting that keep refurbishments and openings on time and on budget.

Hospitality expertise from first idea to everyday operation.

MacAli Group Scotland is a service business for the hospitality sector. We help owners and operators decide what to build, build it properly and run it profitably.

Our work covers the full life of a hospitality property: feasibility and planning, setup and opening, refurbishment, operational improvement and project delivery. You can use one service or combine several, always with a single point of contact.

Our approach

Quiet confidence, careful detail.

Rooted in Scotland, global in outlook

We understand Scottish licensing and building requirements and apply standards and ideas from hospitality markets around the world.

Practical by default

Every recommendation comes with a cost, an owner and a date, so advice turns into action.

Independent

We do not sell properties, equipment or franchises, so you receive advice that serves your interests.

Accountable

A named lead stays with your project until it is finished, working and handed over properly.

Where we work

From the boardroom to the dining room

Hospitality is decided in meetings, built on site and judged by guests. We work across all three.
