 International luxury hotel group Jumeirah has announced plans to open a new five-star super-deluxe hotel in Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city and one of Europe’s most diverse cultural capitals. The Jumeirah Glasgow Hotel, the group’s fifth hotel in Europe, is scheduled to open in 2011.
Conveniently situated in Glasgow’s International Financial Services District, with close proximity to the high-end shopping district, the 25-storey development, designed by Ian Simpson Architects, will be one of the UK’s most luxurious hotels, providing the award-winning levels of service and facilities associated with the Jumeirah brand worldwide.
Guests will enjoy a range of leisure facilities, including an impressive infinity pool, Jumeirah’s signature Talise Wellness spa, a gym, a rooftop cocktail lounge and several restaurants and bars. Extensive business and conference amenities will be supplemented by a 630-seat ballroom and a dedicated club lounge.
 The Jumeirah Glasgow Hotel will comprise 160 luxurious guest rooms and suites, and 85 Jumeirah Living serviced apartments to cater for guests planning an extended visit.
Steven Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council and chair of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: ‘Today’s announcement is a resounding vote of confidence in Glasgow and its future ambitions, made all the sweeter by the fact that Jumeirah does not operate anywhere else in the United Kingdom outside London.’
Guy Crawford, chief executive officer of Jumeirah Group, reinforced the sentiment: ‘We are delighted to announce this exciting development for Jumeirah in the city of Glasgow. Located in the heart of such a dynamic city, Jumeirah Glasgow Hotel will be the perfect addition to our portfolio, in line with Jumeirah’s promise to stay different.’
