GLASGOW’S latest hotel, the four-star Apex City of Glasgow, on Bath Street, has officially opened its doors after a £10.5 million fitting out process, creating 60 jobs.

The hotel – the group’s first in Glasgow – has 104 bedrooms, including five duplex suites with striking city views. It is Apex Hotels’ ninth property, joining sites in Edinburgh, Dundee and London.

The group aims to offer affordable luxury to the leisure and corporate markets, with features including free, high-speed wi-fi and local phone calls, as well as Sky TV in every bedroom.

Helen Gallagher, general manager of Apex City of Glasgow, said: “The hotel’s location means it is at the heart of the action both for the corporate and leisure markets, and we expect to welcome many of the visitors who come to Glasgow because of its reputation for shopping, culture and music.”
