Planning permission and listed building consent has been awarded by Glasgow City Council to 3DReid for the construction of a £26m hotel on the site of the former BBC Scotland Headquarters in Glasgow’s West End.
 
The Hamilton, a 120 room five star hotel and spa, is a combination of restoration and new-build encompassing three listed buildings – The James Miller Building, the Anatomy Building of Queen Margaret College and North Park House – alongside a newly-constructed bedroom wing.
 
Hidden from view for much of BBC Scotland’s 72 years on site the Anatomy Building, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and John Keppie, is of particular significance.  

All being well the Hamilton should open its doors to the public by 2011.
