The hotel is of a contemporary design and has been designed to maintain the strong building edge to the river and to provide a transition between the two very different heights of the neighbouring buildings. The Thyme restaurant is faces the Clyde with an external dining area adjacent to the river creating a range of dining experiences for guests and to reinforce the active frontage of the building.
The design also provides for a new public space which links Bells Bridge to Pacific Quay, formalising a key pedestrian link from the SECC to the site and beyond.
In line with Whitbread PLC's corporate responsibility programme, aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 26% by 2020, the Hotel has been designed to meet these targets, encompassing low carbon design and specification and incorporating many energy saving features.
This development is one of a number of projects in Scotland for Premier Inn, designed by Lawrence McPherson Associates - currently on site or at the design stages. You can follow Lawrence McPherson Associates on Twitter here: @lma_architects
