A NEW £11.25 million hotel has opened its doors to the public in Glasgow this week.

Ibis Styles Glasgow Centre West has been designed to pay tribute to Glasgow’s - and Scotland’s - musical connections and history.

The former office block - on the corner of street Waterloo and Douglas - has been officially opened by Lord Provost, Eva Bolander.

The 137-bed hotel’s décor features nods to the musical greats who have graced Glasgow’s stages, while maintaining a modern finish in line with the city’s style.

The venue also boasts the ‘rehearsal studio’ bar and a ground-floor Tinderbox coffee shop.

The Queen, Duet and Family rooms throughout the hotel all boast 42-inch TVs and unique “Sweetbeds™.”

General manager Rory MacAleece said he was “exceptionally proud” to see Glasgow’s second ibis Styles open its doors.

He added: “The team and I have been looking forward to this moment for some time.

“Not only is the hotel in a fantastic central location, moments from everything Glasgow has to offer, we’re perfectly positioned in the city’s business district for corporate guests. We really do have something for everyone.”
