A new hotel is to open in time for this summer's Commonwealth Games, with the creation of 65 full and part-time jobs.
The £11 million Premier Inn will open ahead of schedule in June at Pacific Quay, Glasgow.
The jobs, including four apprenticeships, range from receptionists and restaurant workers to housekeeping and maintenance staff.
Barry Halfpenny, Premier Inn Glasgow city cluster general manager, said: "Opening in time for the Games has been our aim since plans were first approved for the site, which everyone involved in the project has worked tirelessly to make happen.
"The hotel is in a fantastic location with incredible views both of the city and along the river, which we are confident not only business and leisure travellers will be impressed with but locals too."
The 180-bedroom hotel and restaurant is located on a three-acre site next to the BBC and STV headquarters and opposite the Hydro Arena and SECC.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
