Latest Glasgow hotel plans submitted
November 3 2013
Plans have been submitted by Unite the Union for the demolition of Typographical House on Glasgow’s Clyde Street to make way for a new 54.5m tall hotel development.Designed by Glasgow/Manchester based Haus Collective the scheme would incorporate north and south facing terraces as part of a double height rooftop restaurant with 13 floors of accommodation below.
Meeting the street with a ground floor commercial unit and first floor reception area the scheme would also incorporate informal meeting spaces.
It is the latest in a series of speculative hotel visions for the Clyde Street corridor following plans for the former Custom House and a mothballed scheme immediately adjacent.

I agree the area needs it,But the style of building leaves me cold,and with the one at custom hose just being given go ahead after all these years! I don't see this happening.

Considerably more elegant and less fussy and stylised than the effort at the Custom House

Good to see continuation of innovation and style in architecture in Glasgow.

Yet I'm still dubious if this will ever materialize as we've all heard these schemes so many times before- I'll believe it when I see it.
All in all Glasgow needs more hotel rooms as recent figures have shown.
