A NEW hotel is gearing up to open in Glasgow with a butler service as it gains an alcohol licence.
The House of Gods hotel already has an Edinburgh location which is social-media famous and has been dubbed the capital's "sexiest" hotel.
The boutique hotel will be found on Glassford Street and promises an "Orient Express" type atmosphere, a Glasgow City Council meeting heard.
Among its attractions, the new venue will offer a full butler service in all rooms, spa, rooftop bar and restaurant serving Mediterranean food.
It is understood it could open as soon as August.
Agent Archie MacIver said the hotel aims to “offer a luxury experience” and will be “finished to a high standard”.
It will be housed in a B-listed building at 61 to 65 Glassford Street, which previously was home to Mamafubu restaurant and Peckham’s deli.
Responding to a question at the meeting about what the butler service would entail, MacIver said they could bring snacks, alcohol or toiletries, as well as other items.
MacIver told the licensing board that rooms will be priced between £200 and £500 per night depending on time of the year and other factors and 50 staff will be employed.
The application for the variation of premises licence was granted at the licensing board meeting on Friday to applicant Merchant Properties Scotland.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
