SWG3, in partnership with Stallan-Brand, have submitted plans for a new multi-purpose hotel next to the SWG3 cultural campus on Glasgow’s Clydeside. SWG3 founding partners Andrew Fleming-Brown and Andrew Mickel, alongside hotelier Bruce Robertson and architectural practice Stallan-Brand are behind the project which will be guided by a focus on design, culture, community and a commitment to sustainability.
The proposal would see a 142-bedroom hotel built on disused land at the corner of Eastvale Place and Sandyford Street featuring two restaurants, two bars, co-working spaces, a gym, a movement studio, and a rooftop terrace. The redevelopment and improvement of the land is the culmination of almost twenty years of investment in the area, which will create over 100 new jobs and provide a new hub for the local Yorkhill and Finnieston communities.
Paul Stallan, Design Director, Stallan-Brand, comment,: “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.”
Bruce Robertson, said, “As we take our next step towards achieving our vision, we’re excited to show the unique offer of the hotel. With rooms for all budgets where taste is not measured in wallet size. In addition to accessibly priced bedrooms, the ground, first and second floors will be a hive of creative and cultural activity with facilities to appeal to the local community as well as hotel guests. We aim to not only deliver economic growth for the area but create new jobs, nurture local talent and create a world class destination.”
