A hotel in Glasgow has unveiled a £2.8million refurbishment.
easyHotel - which is located on Hill Street in the city centre - has said they have completed a makeover which includes a 'complete upgrade of the hotel's energy system'.
As part of the refurb works, all 125 bedrooms at the venue received a 'low carbon makeover' with sustainably sourced timber used throughout as well as the wallpaper being made from recycled materials.
The hotel has also revamped its entrance and reception area.

According to the company, the energy infrastructure of the building has been a 'large focus' of the refurbishment.
Work has also included replacing gas boilers with electric air source heat pumps, upgrading mechanical units to provide thermal benefits and the installation of solar panels and new energy-efficient air condition systems.
The refurbishment is part of a wider £6million investment to reduce the group's overall CO2 emissions across its older hotels in the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain.
In total, carbon emissions will be cut by 25%, bringing easyHotel up to 10 years ahead of CRREM targets.
The hotel originally opened in the city in 2014.
It is the firm's second location in Scotland - with Princess Street in Edinburgh being the first as it opened in 2010.
Karim Malak, CEO of easyHotel, said: “The completion of our Glasgow refurbishment demonstrates easyHotel’s commitment to offering low-carbon rooms that not only deliver exceptional value for our guests but also meet the growing demand for more sustainable hotels.
"Besides the hotel looking fantastic, the savings made in carbon helps us in keeping our prices low as we focus on taking the lead in great-value, low-carbon hotels across Europe.”
