PLANS for a new five-storey hotel at Glasgow Airport have been given the go-ahead.
The DMA-designed hotel next to the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel at Glasgow Airport Business Park will provide 196 guest rooms, public areas on the ground floor, and 52 additional car park spaces.

Herbert Lui, DMA partner: “Our client, Cairn Group, saw an opportunity to meet demand for guestrooms in this location with a high-quality new building.
“Our contemporary approach is sympathetic in scale and massing to the context. The building is on a site that already benefits from established infrastructure. The hotel will bring investment to the area and generate opportunities for local employment. It is also designed to meet the safe guarding requirements stipulated by Glasgow Airport authorities.”

The design of the hotel “seeks to inject architectural interest, colour and scale through the use of a palette of high-quality building finishes consisting of reconstituted stone cladding, multi-coloured glazed curtain walls, and polyester powder coated metal cladding”.
DMA also said the new building is similar in length to the existing adjacent hotels “but the scale is broken down by introducing a series of contrasting protruding bays at intervals to give a sense of relief and rhythm”.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
