It’s a ‘yes’ for YOTEL

YOTEL is to open its second hotel in Scotland and its fifth in the UK in November 2019. The new YOTEL Glasgow will see the Westergate building on Argyle Street transformed into a 256-room hotel that will be equipped with YOTEL’s unique design and technology-driven hospitality offering. The hotel will also feature a rooftop bar and bowling alley. YOTEL CEO Hubert Viriot said, “Glasgow is a forward-looking city that has real vibrancy and energy, bolstered by careful planning and investment initiatives. The city is building on its excellent infrastructure and is shaping up to be a world-class business destination. These were all important characteristics that helped us choose Glasgow as our next UK location and we’re excited to be part of the positive momentum that is driving growth in the city.” The new hotel is being designed by Glasgow-based architects Mosaic Architecture + Design.
