£5m hotel to get go-ahead on prime city centre site£5m hotel to get go-ahead on prime city centre site (Evening Times)
A £5MILLION hotel is to be built on an "ugly" gap site in Glasgow city centre. City councillors were today expected to give the go-ahead to the 11-storey building in Jamaica Street. It will have up to 115 bedrooms but will be flexible enough to allow some rooms to be turned into suites. The gap site is between two listed buildings, one now a bingo arcade and the Classic Grand concert venue and the other the Crystal Palace pub. Steve Inch, executive director of development and regeneration, says in a report: "The existing gap site is blighting this part of Jamaica Street." Most of Jamaica Street is lined with shops, hotels, pubs and nightclubs so a new hotel is regarded as appropriate for the location. Mr Inch said: "It is considered the proposed development will make a significant and positive contribution to the regeneration of the surrounding area by developing this ugly gap site. "Its contemporary architecture will complement rather than detract from the area." James H |
