A Glasgow hotel is capitalising on the popularity of the Hydro with plans for a complete makeover.

The former Campanile Hotel at 10 Tunnel Street, now closed, will be redeveloped by ICA on behalf of Radisson to include an extension with the existing building overclad to match.

Designed for the chain's mid-range Prize brand the redevelopment will provide additional accommodation and implement a landscaping strategy to tie the development into the nearby North Rotunda and Radisson Red hotel - currently set adrift amidst surface parking lots. This will reduce parking spaces from 54 to 38 to introduce meadow planting.

In a planning statement, ICA wrote: "Being cost-efficient and bold in design features are the main aspects when developing Prize by Radisson guestrooms. These have been designed to keep essentials through simple but clever design tools: colour, pattern and furnishings that add character and visual interest including signature neon lamps.

"Also, by using panels and racks we avoid chasing walls for light fittings and TV wiring. Guest comfort is at the centre of the design, that's why even with a very efficient layout, beds have generous sizes (180x200) and walk-in showers in bathrooms are provided for all rooms."

Dating from 2002 the steel frame structure will be retained behind a more contemporary skin of bronze metal panels above a brick base.
