A new hotel by a prime Irish group is set to open in Glasgow city centre.

The Address Hotel Glasgow will be located at the site of the former Pocotel, on the corner of Renfield Street and West George Street.

As the Glasgow Times reported in May, a planning application was submitted to the council to put up signage on the B-listed building, which has now been approved.

The new four-star hotel, presented over eight floors, will feature 91 bedrooms alongside spa facilities, a gym, two restaurants, a bar, and is scheduled for handover in November.

Dating back to circa 1896, the iconic building was designed by architect James Thomson and whilst the exterior will be retained, a complete interior refurbishment will take place.

Glasgow-based family business the A. Alexander Group has been appointed to deliver mechanical, electrical, fire and security services on the site.
