We feel this is a good time to add to our Glasgow portfolio with a strong, modern hotel and I’m confident that we can offer something fresh and unique to the mid-market business and leisure traveller.

Designed by Robert Alexander Bryden, who was born in Glasgow on 7 July 1841, the six storey Pearl Assurance building was built in 1900 for General Life Assurance and boasts many original features including polished red ashlar stonework, sash and case windows as well as polished granite stair and balustrade which have been loving restored in collaboration with Historic Scotland.
