Native set for October opening in Glasgow

UK: Native is taking bookings from October 15 for its Glasgow aparthotel.

Native Glasgow is the result of a multi-million-pound restoration of an Edwardian Art Deco office building, formerly the headquarters of the Anchor Line Shipping Company. The new aparthotel features 64 apartments ranging from studios to penthouses.

Native worked alongside interior architects ICA to preserve the building's heritage, retaining original features such as glazed tiles, terrazzo flooring, timber wall panelling and fireplaces.

Facilities will include 24-hour reception, concierge and free high-speed Wi-Fi. The building's ground and basement floors are home to two popular restaurants, The Anchor Line and Atlantic, which are open from breakfast through to dinner.

Guy Nixon, CEO of Native said: "This is a rare opportunity to reimagine a piece of Glasgow's shipping heritage as a uniquely special space for the city's visitors to stay. We have worked in close partnership with building owners, the White Building Properties Company, to mirror the design ethos and opulence of a 1920s ocean liner. Native Glasgow feels like an exciting milestone in our plans to expand our aparthotel business across all major UK cities."

The property is located next to Glasgow's historic George Square, and a short walk from Glasgow Central Station.
