How Did Andy Murray’s Wife Kim Sears Turn His $2.5 Million Investment Into a Passion Project?
When a tennis player leaves his hometown to pursue his dreams, what they leave behind is an entire childhood filled with memories. Andy Murray had to do the same when he moved to Barcelona as a teenager. Though he left, his hometown’s memories and his appreciation for it lingered.
Therefore, after he reached the top of the sport, he decided to contribute something to his hometown and bought a hotel in Dunblane, where he grew up. Though initially an emotional purchase, Kim Sears has transformed it into a crucial project, with both working hand-in-hand to nurture its development!
The year that Andy Murray made history at Wimbledon, he wanted to show his gratitude to the place that contributed greatly to his rise in tennis, Dunblane, Perthshire. Therefore, when (2013) he became the first Brit to have won Wimbledon in 77 years, he, along with his wife, Kim, purchased a luxury hotel an astounding value of €2 million ($2.55M) to remain connected to his roots.
Since then, the Cromlix Hotel has been intricately woven into the Murray family’s list of achievements. After all, it was not only a beautiful Victorian-era property but also a testament to their love and respect for the place.
To extend its significance even further, the couple decided to have their wedding reception (2015) in there as well! Soon, Andy Murray and Kim Sears decided to renovate the place. The 36-year-old artist by profession, Sears, who handled most of it by herself, has now turned it into an even greater and better place after months of hard work.
