It will also feature a restaurant, a gym, and meeting spaces.
Announcing the news, the hotel group said the new venue will be located in Glasgow City Centre with a target opening date of 2027.
The proposed site for the new development is at 90/96 Maxwell Street and 40 Fox Street and is occupied by a dilapidated former warehouse building.
Adela Cristea, vice president of Business Development UK, Ireland & Nordics at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “This is an exciting time for Radisson Hotel Group; this is the first serviced apartment concept signing in the UK for us and we are absolutely thrilled to showcase it in Glasgow.
"Radisson Hotel & Serviced Apartments Glasgow will perfectly complement our award-winning Radisson RED and Radisson Blu properties, both of which are established, great brand representations in this amazing city.
"This new development will provide more choice for guests, with a home-from-home experience within the luxury of a Radisson environment.”
Meanwhile, Jay Singh, director of Regent Property Glasgow said: “We are delighted to work on this new venture with such a prestige brand by our side and we look forward to making a significant contribution to the regeneration of the Clydeside and St Enoch area.”
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!
