Yotel to open second Glasgow hotel

Hotel brand Yotel has announced plans to open its second hotel in Scotland and fifth in the UK.  

The new property in Glasgow’s city centre will open in November 2019 and bring the brand’s key count in the UK to 823 as part of its European expansion strategy.

Located in the city centre location opposite Glasgow’s Central Station, the new hotel will see the Westergate building on Argyle Street transformed into a 256-room hotel, and will feature a destination rooftop bar and bowling alley.

CEO Hubert Viriot said: “Glasgow is a forward-looking city that has real vibrancy and energy, bolstered by careful planning and investment initiatives. The city is building on its excellent infrastructure and is shaping up to be a world-class business destination.

“These were all important characteristics that helped us choose Glasgow as our next UK location and we’re excited to be part of the positive momentum that is driving growth in the city.”
