HILTON has underlined its confidence in the future of business and leisure travel in Glasgow as it revealed plans to open a new hotel on Clydeside – and it will be the first in the UK to trade under its new Motto brand.
The hotel giant, which has had a presence in Glasgow for more than 30 years, expects to open a 186-room Motto by Hilton in autumn 2024, taking its tally of hotels in the city to eight operating under four different brands. It will be just the second Motto by Hilton to be confirmed in Europe, following its debut at a hotel in Rotterdam that launched earlier this week.
The Glasgow hotel will be part of a franchise agreement with Cycas Hospitality, a pan-European hospitality management company. The building itself will be developed by Silk Property Group, the London-based real estate firm which is also building Virgin Hotel as part of the same development.
The Hilton by Motto will be located on the corner of Clyde Street and Maxwell Street.
