Jumeirah Checks In To Glasgow



Something of a coup for Glasgow today, when one of the world's most exclusive hotel chains announced they will open a hotel in the city in 2010.


Jumeirah - based in the United Arab Emirates - are developing a SIX STAR, 25 STOREY hotel on Argyle Street. The hotel will feature 160 guest rooms, 85 serviced apartments, wellness spa, gym, rooftop cocktail lounge, several restaurants and bars, business and conference amenities, a 630 seat ballroom and - perhaps the piece de resistance - a top floor infinity swimming pool commanding spectacular views across Glasgow.


What is so significant about this development is the vote of confidence in Glasgow. The Jumeirah Glasgow will join an exclusive portfolio that features Dubai's landmark Burj Al Arab, New York's Essex House and three top of the market London hotels. Besides the three hotels in the UK capital, Jumeirah's only other European site is an exclusive resort planned for the port of Soller in Majorca.


More details can be found in the official press release.
