Wetherspoon plans to build a hotel on a plot of land vacant next to its Crystal Palace pub in Glasgow, as well as developing the upper floors to the pub.
The development cost for the new hotel is £10 million, with approximately 30 new jobs likely to be created.
The hotel would have a total of 73 bedrooms: 45 in the extension (currently the vacant plot of land) and 28 above the pub itself.
Wetherspoon has had meetings with the planners and is now progressing its planning application but, until planning permission has been obtained, there is no date for opening or even starting work on site.
Spokesman 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.”
Wetherspoon is not new to operating hotels: it currently operates 36 hotels in the UK, including seven in Scotland.
