Macdonald Resorts

What It Is

Macdonald Hotels & Resorts is a UK hotel group operating a collection of 4- and 5-star hotels, self-catering resorts, spas, and golf courses across the United Kingdom and Spain. The brand operates its own consumer booking platform at macdonaldhotels.co.uk and also distributes through major OTAs including Booking.com and Expedia.

Who It Serves and How to Connect

As a hotel group and direct-booking brand rather than a third-party distribution channel, Macdonald Resorts primarily serves leisure travellers seeking upmarket UK and Spanish getaways — spa breaks, golf holidays, and self-catering resort stays. For channel managers and property technology vendors, Macdonald properties may connect to third-party distribution through standard OTA and GDS integrations. The brand's direct booking site offers loyalty programme rates via the Macdonald Preferred scheme.

Specialty and Region

Macdonald Hotels & Resorts focuses on the UK leisure segment — city breaks, spa escapes, family holidays, and golf — with a presence in Scotland, England, Wales, and resort destinations in Spain. The group emphasises direct booking incentives, including best-rate guarantees and member discounts, positioning direct channels as the preferred reservation route for guests.
