£7.2m red glass hotel finally gets go-ahead£7.2m red glass hotel finally gets go-ahead
A DRAMATIC red glass hotel soaring 20 storeys high is to be built in Glasgow city centre - at a cost of £7.2million. Hotel giant Intercontinental has been given the go-ahead for the tower block, which will have 119 suites for extended stay guests. A previous planning application for the new development in Jamaica Street was thrown out last year after councillors described the original design as "hideous." City architects Young and Gault went back to the drawing board and their new design has now won the backing of planners. It's expected work on the hotel will start later this year and take up to 22 months. The building will be completely clad in glass which will be red at the bottom but will fade to clear at the top. Today the company released an artist's impression of the planned property. The site, between MacSorley's Bar and Jurys Inn, is close to Central Station, which will be the terminus for the new airport rail link. James H |
