James H Office or flats as long as the integrity of the facade was retained would anyone really bother ? It's days as a hotel are over and it would hardly attract 5* clientelle regardless of its location.

"A car lies damaged by falling debris after roof tiles were blown off Glasgow’s Great Eastern Hotel in Duke Street." "The council's building control team was called to a number of incidents throughout the city including the Great Eastern Hotel where parts of the roof had blown off, which caused the closure of Duke Street. The area was cordoned off today until it could be assessed." http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/new...egins_after_90mph_storm_chaos.php James H _________________ Happiness ain't at the end of the road - Happiness *IS* the road...
