100 jobs created as new hotel opens in
central Glasgow
Dalata Hotel Group Plc (“Dalata” or “the Group”), the largest
hotel operator in Ireland, growing rapidly in the UK and with a
presence in continental Europe, today officially opens the Group’s
50th hotel, Clayton Hotel Glasgow City, creating 100 jobs
locally.
Clayton Hotel Glasgow City is the Group’s first Clayton hotel in
Scotland, following the opening of Maldron Hotel Glasgow in August
2021. The opening of Dalata’s 50th hotel is a significant milestone
for the Group as it continues to deliver sustainable growth,
enabled by a dedicated and experienced team. The hotel marks the
Group’s 17th hotel across the UK, where it operates eleven Clayton
hotels and six Maldron hotels and has four hotels under
construction in Brighton, Manchester, Liverpool, and London.
Clayton Hotel Glasgow City
Situated on Clyde Street on the site of the city’s Grade A
listed Custom House building, Clayton Hotel Glasgow City is a
4-star property that is part of a significant restoration of the
historical area, known as St Enoch. The refurbished listed building
serves as the entrance to the hotel with the reception, public
area, ballroom and event spaces all located here. Adjacent to the
historic building and connected, in part, by a glazed ceiling, the
stylish ultra-modern hotel also houses the Custom House Bar &
Restaurant. Climbing 16 storeys high, the hotel provides a striking
juxtaposition of old and new architecture.
The luxurious new hotel is just a short stroll from Glasgow’s
famed Buchanan Street with easy access to the rest of the city’s
Style Mile areas as well as the world-renowned OVO Hydro Arena,
Scottish Event Campus and the Science Centre.
Additionally, its high-spec meeting and event facilities ensure
the hotel is an attractive option for business guests. The hotel’s
303 spacious bedrooms offer stunning cityscape or river views,
while the terrace on the seventh floor provides a stand-out
entertaining space for both corporate and private events, with
panoramic views across the city.
Integral in the design of the build and in keeping with Dalata’s
purpose to grow as an innovative and sustainable international
hotel company, was the use of low-carbon technologies. This ensures
the hotel, with a BREEAM rating of Excellent, has a more
sustainable approach which allows the hotel’s energy demands to be
met by minimising the dependence on fossil fuels.
As Scotland’s largest city, and the third largest city in the
UK, Glasgow attracts a strong mix of corporate and leisure demand.
In 2019, the city welcomed 2.5 million visitors, generating £774
million for the city’s economy.i The city has historically achieved
a strong RevPAR, altogether making it an attractive market for
Dalata Hotel Group.
Dermot Crowley, Chief Executive of Dalata Hotel Group
said the hotel opening further signals the Company’s continued
commitment to its expansion strategy, as well as cementing the
group’s confidence in Scotland and the UK market.
He said: “The opening of our 50th hotel, Clayton Hotel Glasgow
City is a significant milestone for us and is a further
demonstration of the excellent team we have in Dalata, who continue
to deliver on our ambitious growth strategy. We are delighted to
expand our presence in Glasgow where we now have over 600
rooms.
“The hotel, our first with investment partners Union Investment,
has been expertly developed at Glasgow’s Custom House, an iconic
listed building that has been part of Glasgow City for 180 years.
This truly stand-out property has been made possible through the
hard work of our partners on the project – McAleer and Rushe who
constructed the hotel on behalf of the developers Artisan Real
Estate and our landlords Union Investment.
“This is good news for Glasgow’s tourism sector, its business
community and its overall economy. We have created 100 new jobs and
have already assembled a great team under General Manager, Hazel
Galloway who successfully led the team at Maldron Hotel Glasgow
City previously. Many of the team have moved to the hotel from
other Dalata hotels in the UK, but we have also welcomed many new
local faces into the Dalata family as part of this hotel
opening.”
