A NEW hotel operating under one of the world’s biggest budget brands is set to open its doors in Cumbernauld on Monday (May 17).
The latest opening by the Ibis chain in Scotland will begin welcoming guests after its lease to management company AGO Hotels.
The property, based at the Auchenkilns Roundabout, has 57 bedrooms, with free wi-fi as standard.
AGO Hotels was launched in July as an alternative platform for hotel owners and operators, and specialises in the budget sector. It has signed a 25-year least for the Auchenkilns hotel.
Lionel Benjamin, co-founder of AGO Hotels, said: “Today is a huge day for the hospitality industry, which has been one of the worst hit sectors during the Covid pandemic. Now with the lifting of restrictions, we are so pleased to finally be opening the doors of the new ibis budget Glasgow Cumbernauld.
“Our teams across all of our hotels are raring to go, and we look forward to providing a comfortable and affordable setting in Glasgow for those traveling for work, enjoying a staycation or visiting friends and family.”
There are more than 600 ibis hotels in around 20 countries.
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
