NEW COLOURS ADDED TO GLASGOW LANDSCAPE

Following a £15 million transformation of one of the city’s ornate Victorian buildings, Glasgow’s newest boutique property, the stylish 95 bedroom Hotel Indigo Glasgow and the adjacent Limelight Bar and Grill Waterloo Street has opened, and is enjoying rave reviews from guests.

The opening brings back to life the former Scottish Power building from which, in the 19th century, the city’s first power station was run, providing power to the old Glasgow tram cars. The first building to be illuminated from the building was Glasgow School of Art, so taking note of these artistic roots, specially commissioned portraits by 25 local artists of their Scots heroes including Charles Rennie Macintosh, actor Gerard Butler, boxer Benny Lynch and writer John Byrne adorn the walls.
Hotel Indigo is run by city based Chardon Management, which is the UK’s leading independent hotel management company, owned by legendary Glasgow hotelier and restaurateur, Maurice Taylor. A franchised brand of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), parent company of global brands such as Crowne Plaza and InterContinental, Hotel Indigo Glasgow will be the first hotel of its type in the UK to open outside of London.
All 95 of the luxurious air conditioned executive, superior, deluxe bedrooms, including a breathtaking 2 bedroom penthouse suite, offering stunning views across the city, come complete with stunning Porscelanosa and Villeroy & Boch fittings, lap top safe, alarm clock radio with MP3 connection, flat screen TVs, and complimentary wireless internet access.

Adjacent to the hotel is classic yet ultra contemporary LIMELIGHT BAR AND GRILL , which is reminiscent of the coolest – and hottest – bars and restaurants in London, in terms of originality, decor, and menu choices.
Extensive table d’hôte and a la carte menus, which will change seasonally, have been devised by award winning Executive Chef, Gerry Sharkey for the 70 seater Limelight Grill. As well as traditional Grill options, diners can enjoy an array of mouth-watering dishes, including Local seafood bisque with prawn dumplings and rouille (£7.95) , Lemon pepper and thyme chicken with house salad and truffle honey dressing (£13.95), and the exquisite Tasting Platter For Two offering ripe melon, chicken satay seafood bisque , cured ham, olives, parmesan and roquette salad, prawn marie rose, vegetable pakora and BBQ ribs (£14.95).
Limelight boasts one of the city’s most extensive and unique wine lists, which includes a number of the finest reserve wines from across globe. In addition, Limelight Bar has revived vintage Glasgow cocktails including the Alice Underground Long Island Iced Tea and the Harvey’s Hurricane. To add extra fizz, Moet Chandon is available by the glass whilst bottles of Perrier Jouet Champagne are available for just £30.
