Wetherspoon plans £10m Glasgow hotel

Pub company JD Wetherspoon has revealed its ambition to build a 73-bedroom hotel alongside its Crystal Palace pub in Glasgow.

The £10m project, which is currently subject to planning consent, will see the creation of 28 bedrooms above the pub as well as a further 45 bedrooms in an extension, which will be built on an adjacent vacant plot of land.

The opening of the hotel is expected to create 30 new jobs.

Wetherspoon is understood to have met with planners and is now progressing its planning application.

Company spokesperson Eddie Gershon commented: "We are keen to open a new hotel alongside and above our pub, the Crystal Palace, in Glasgow. We believe that the hotel would be a great asset to the city and to the pub itself."

There are currently no on site or opening dates.

Last month the managed pub giant announced plans to take its total number of hotels to 40, with new openings planned for Camborne on 7 July, Tavistock on 21 July, Worcester on 18 August, and Barrow on 1 September.

All Wetherspoon hotels feature an en suite bathroom, unlimited free Wi-Fi, flatscreen television with Freeview TV, and tea and coffee making facilities.
