Six-star hotel proposals granted planning approval
14 Nov 2007
Glasgow City Council has approved plans lodged by Progress Property Developments for a new six star hotel, designed by Ian Simpson Architects.
The hotel, which will sit beside the Radisson hotel on Argyle Street, will contain 158 rooms and suites, a 630 people banqueting facility and extensive conference and meeting facilities as well as a pool, health spa, gym and a skybar.
The decision was delayed for a week due to the number of applications submitted to the planning committee recently and within the context of a recent debate about Glasgow’s tall building policy.
The council refused planning permission for a 20-storey hotel on the same site two weeks ago which was designed by Young and Gault.
If you have any views on this or any other issue raised on the Prospect website, join the debate in the Forum.
