  We use Quillen model structures to show a systematic method to lift
recollements of hereditary abelian model categories to recollements of their
associated homotopy categories. To that end, we use the notion of Quillen
adjoint triples and we investigate transfers of abelian model structures along
adjoint pairs. Applications include liftings of recollements of module
categories to their derived counterpart, liftings to homotopy categories that
provide models for stable categories of Gorenstein projective and injective
modules and liftings to homotopy categories of n-morphism categories over
Iwanaga-Gorenstein rings.
