Passers-by in Glasgow city centre could have been forgiven for thinking they had gone a little quackers on Wednesday 14 October as a giant duck descended on George Square to mark the launch of the city’s newest hotel. Scottish hotel group Apex’s first foray into Glasgow, the four star Apex City of Glasgow hotel on Bath Street, is now open following a £10.5m fit out, creating 60 new jobs.
The giant mascot, lovingly christened Rennie by the public in homage to one of Glasgow’s finest sons, is a larger than life version of the rubber duck that greets every guest in their bathroom.
Situated in the heart of Glasgow, minutes from attractions like the Style Mile, SSE Hydro and King’s Theatre, the new hotel has 104 modern bedrooms including five duplex suites with striking views over the city. It is Apex Hotels’ ninth property, joining its portfolio spanning Edinburgh, Dundee and London.
Apex Hotels has built its reputation on offering affordable luxury to the leisure and corporate markets and the hotel boasts features including free high speed Wi-Fi and local calls as well as Sky in every room.
‘The Lounge’ is the group’s new lounge restaurant concept which makes its debut at Apex City of Glasgow. It offers flexible spaces for work, rest and play with all-day dining.
The menu concept means that diners can feast from 6.30am until 10pm. In addition to a traditional a la carte menu, Apex has created two contemporary dining options: an all-day self-serve selection and a grazing menu, both available from 11am to 10pm.
Designed into flexible zones that work perfectly for drinks with the girls, a business meeting, pre-theatre dinner or post-shopping lunch, the bar and restaurant offers complimentary high speed Wi-Fi and plenty of plug points.
