Description:
A 6-star deluxe hotel development is proposed for the heart
of Glasgow's International Financial Services District (IFSD).
The 26-storey new build Jumeirah Glasgow Hotel will
have 158 rooms and will occupy a run down site on
the corner of Argyle Street and Robertson Street, directly across
from the SAS Radisson Hotel.
Guests will enjoy leisure facilities including an impressive
infinity pool, Jumeirah's Talise Wellness spa, a gym, rooftop
cocktail lounge and several restaurants and bars.
Extensive business and conference facilities will be available
along with a 630-seat ballroom and a dedicated club lounge.
A second, smaller tower is planned on the corner of Argyle
Street and York Street, with 68 serviced apartments.
The development is designed to be as green as possible by
incorporating bore hole technology to get water from the ground to
supplement heating, high efficiency boilers, automatic lights, very
high insulation and the latest lighting technology.
The 32,000m2 scheme has been designed by
internationally renowned architects, Ian Simpson Architects
and is located in the IFSD within walking distance of
Glasgow Central Station.
Planning permission has been given.
