City Site gets green light for revised Glasgow hotel

Source/Contact: EGi, 10/04/2008

Developer City Site Estates has been granted permission for a 20-storey hotel in Glasgow after revising the design.  The 119-bed hotel, to be operated by Staybridge Suites, was originally thrown out by Glasgow councillors last year after being described as “hideous”.  However, after architect Young & Gault revised the design, including the cladding on the outside of the building, the scheme has been given the go-ahead.  Work on the development, at 50-58 Jamaica Street, close to Central Station, is expected to begin shortly, with completion due in 2010.
