The concept seeks to place Clydebank confidently on the contemporary architectural map and celebrate the town’s shipbuilding heritage, the meander of the river and the backdrop of the Kilpatrick Hills.
The proposal is designed to knit into, amplify and celebrate the existing civic assets at Queens Quay and the Titan Crane.
On the ground floor of the hotel, developers say they will create a “river gallery”, a curated heritage wall and rotating displays developed with local historians and community groups to tell the stories of the yards and evolution of the waterfront.
If approved, the hotel is estimated to create 80 to 100 full-time roles within a mix of front of house, housekeeping, food and beverage, kitchen, events, engineering and administration staff.
