Outline Glasgow Harbour hotel plans submitted
March 17 2014
The plans follow an earlier submission to build a whisky distillery and visitor centre on an adjacent plot which will also see an historic Pump House converted.
Designed by ADF Architects the scheme will fit into the wider Glasgow Harbour master plan and incorporates a setback to preserve existing down river views from the pump House and will entail infill of an existing dock.
Clydeport property director Euan Jamieson said: "Once we know the principle is established, we would look to secure an operator under the Peel Hotels banner and probably start on site in 2015.
"The target will be for a three star hotel plus which is similar to the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel next to the Finnieston Crane."
An indicative massing study envisages construction of a linear block of some five stories
Existing views from the Pump House will be protected

Is the ground floor a car showroom? There are cars inside! There are an awful lot of parking spaces outside too.
