Work to get underway on Glasgow Motel One
November 24 2015
Costed at £22m the 13-storey block will house 374 rooms on the junction of Argyle Street and Oswald Street, offering budget accommodation for design conscious visitors.
This follows hot on the heels of a 140 bedroom Motel One on Princes Street, Edinburgh.
Donald MacDonald, managing director of Ogilvie Construction, said: “The building will be constructed to the highest standards, combining the use of high quality materials with our extensive experience and understanding of the needs of the hotel and leisure sector.”
The new hotel is slated to open in autumn 2017.

You know things aren’t going to be great when they are embarrassed to show you images of the whole building

A few years ago there was an amendment in the planning docs that replaced the glazed curtain wall section with ugly grey panelling. So no one is sure what version is actually getting built.

This is the same crew that brought us the Premier Inn at Pacific Quay
I wonder if by “high quality materials” he means the same nasty grey panels with rivets
