Mr Spence was awarded an MBE for services to tourism in 2015.

“The hotel community in Aberdeen and the north east is saddened by the loss of a truly inspirational hotelier,” industry spokesman Mr Whitaker said.

“Stewart was a real professional, recognising at an early stage that Aberdeen needed to work hard together to have legacy success from a burgeoning oil industry.”

He said Mr Spence positioned The Marcliffe as “Aberdeen’s luxury place to stay”.

Mr Whitaker added: “He was a towering figure in the region’s hotel world and many of us in the industry would be proud to leave a fraction of the legacy that he has.

“We extend our deepest condolences to Stewart’s family.”
