Mosaic unveils £18m hotel plan for Pacific Quay

Mosaic Architecture + Design has submitted a planning application with Iceni Projects for the construction of a Holiday Inn hotel on the former Glasgow Garden Festival site at Pacific Quay.Situated on the south bank of the River Clyde, the 150 executive bedroom hotel will feature seven storeys with a first floor split between conferencing and co-working space and a Skybar on the top floor offering views across the river to the iconic Finnieston Crane and beyond.The project represents an investment of more than £18 million in Glasgow by developer Pacific Quay Developments. The hotel will be operated by RBH Hospitality Management and will create more than 50 permanent jobs.Formerly part of the commercial dock operated by Clyde Port Authority, Pacific Quay was used for the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988 before being transformed into one of Scotland’s most successful new business and leisure destinations. The area is now home to the headquarters of BBC Scotland and STV and sits adjacent to the Scottish Events Campus.
