GLASGOW'S SWG3 has submitted plans for a new hotel with a restaurant, bars, gym and more.
The popular music and clubbing venue in the city's west end, in partnership with Stallan-Brand, is seeking permission to build a 142-bedroom accommodation at the corner of Eastvale Place and Sandyford Street.
It would feature two restaurants, two bars, co-working spaces, a gym, a movement studio, and a rooftop terrace, which the firms state would "amplify the local hospitality, tourism, and cultural scenes while fostering entrepreneurial and international business opportunities".
The land is currently disused and the development, if successful, would create more than 100 new jobs and a new hub for the local Yorkhill and Finnieston communities.
Paul Stallan, design director of Stallan-Brand, said: “Whilst the SWG3 Hotel is strategically situated to support the immediate regeneration initiative the hotel will also contribute to the ongoing success of Glasgow's 'Hydro Effect' which has seen the city become a global magnet for major music and conference events. As a 'hotel for music lovers', the SWG3 team are excited to expand their programme with a new leisure offer that will ensure they remain more visible, vital and circular.”
Glasgow City Council's planning committee is evaluating the bid.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
