Plans for a new hotel in Glasgow have been approved.
The new hotel will be a 16-storey building with 252 bedrooms on a site next to the St Columba Gaelic church on the corner of St Vincent Street and Pitt Street in central Glasgow. The hotel will replace two adjoining office blocks which were built in the mid-1980s.
The new hotel will be the first UK hotel for Austrian operator - Vienna House. It will include a restaurant and bar plus conference facilities.
Work is scheduled to start on site this autumn - coronavirus permitting - with the hotel’s opening scheduled for 2023.
Vienna House is a well-established hotel company if not well known in the UK. The group operate some 50 hotels in eight countries throughout Europe and Asia.
