Dalata Hotel Group Plc ("Dalata" or "the Group"), the largest hotel group in Ireland, with a growing presence in the United Kingdom, today officially opens the Group's first hotel in Scotland, creating 80 jobs locally.
The four-star Maldron hotel is located on Renfrew St, in the heart of the city's shopping, restaurant & theatre district. The £40 million property features new stylish spacious air-conditioned bedrooms, a bar and restaurant, resident's gym, and state-of-the-art business facilities. The hotel is also highly tech-enabled with chrome cast in each bedroom, digital check-in and a virtual guest services platform.
Maldron Hotel Glasgow City represents a significant investment and vote of confidence in Scotland by Dalata, providing a substantial economic boost to the city as it recovers from the impact of Covid-19.
The hotel is located on the site of the former STV headquarters and is perfectly positioned close to the city's major transport links.
The business-friendly hotel has invested in interactive Clevertouch technology in all meeting facilities, alongside Clickshare wireless connectivity, enabling ease of streaming for virtual meeting integration.
Maldron Hotel Glasgow City also holds the 'We're Good to Go' industry standard, demonstrating a commitment to comply with all Covid-19 safety guidelines.
The hotel, funded by Aberdeen Standard Investments, was developed by MRP and constructed by McAleer & Rushe. Aligned to Dalata's Green Tourism programme the hotel has been built to a BREEAM sustainability assessment of 'Very Good' standard and has new technologies such as Air Source Heat Pumps and Heat Exchangers to reduce carbon emissions. The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October - 12 November 2021 with delegates to the summit expected to stay at the hotel.
