The Address

The Address is situated in the B listed Pearl Assurances Building in Glasgow city centre and features 95 guestrooms, restaurant, two bars, cinema, meeting space, spa, gym and the typical back-of-house support areas for the operator associated with a hotel of this scale. 3DReid was appointed as Interior Designers and Architects on The Address.

A key move for the site was to relocate the main guest entrance for the hotel from its current West George Street location to the more prominent Renfield Street. This involved expanding into the existing pizzeria F&B retail unit and the proposal includes the guest reception, restaurant and bar within this space. The existing retail unit basement was refurbished to include guest toilet and staff back-of-house areas for storage, cellars, access stairs, circulation corridors. The lower ground floor and basement have been completely re-designed to the look and feel of The Address brand.

The services entrance to the rear accessed from Renfield Street lane was also be upgraded as this is used for accessible guest access. The upper ground floor accessed from West George Street has undergone a full refurbishment to the internal areas. This level contains the residents bar & café, cinema/meeting space, guest toilets, spa offer, gym, guest circulation and four new guest bedrooms. Part of this work involved re-activating the existing historic door and stair, to become the main entrance into the residents bar and café from West George Street. The guest bedrooms located on levels 1 to 5 have been refurbished to align them with The Address brand. This includes new carpets; paint finishes and selected FF&E items.

The guest corridors have also been refurbished. Externally the building has new cladding and canopy to the new hotel entrance on Renfield Street which elevates this area for both hotel guests and retail footfall where we have also incorporated new signage and feature lighting.
