The firm has been appointed by developer, North Limited, to construct the building in what is a major regeneration for the area between St Enoch Square and the River Clyde.

The project also incorporates ground floor retail and restaurant units beneath the 7 storey 250 room hotel and will adhere to strict Whitbread specifications with a high BREEAM rating.

Donald MacDonald, managing director, Ogilvie Construction, said: “We are proud to have been chosen to deliver another high quality hotel facility and look forward to delivering the project on time and budget. Our team has extensive experience and expertise in the hotel and leisure sector in Scotland. They worked closely with North Limited from the early stages of the project, developing a range of design and cost options prior to the start of construction work on site.”
