I am not going to do my usual spiel about the tourist. what i find interesting is how the paper has given a tale of two city's today. We have the homelss guy whos being who is living in an awful flat thtas coing out of the council tax money whilst we get in essence a goorifed advert for a Dubai hotel group who are telling hard up Glaswegians that they are so "lucky" to be getting this hotle in the city. "Lucky"? Somehow i dont think Glaswegians will see it that way. So its decided then. Glasgow is a Tourist Playground, and Glaswegians are not invited. Aint it a b*tch when your not welcome in your own city anymore.[bold]Its getting more like Edinburgh everyday[/bold] .

If she has only 6 years experience in the profession, what she knows about the hospitality industry being an office administrator?
Take years on job training to really understand the profession and not just reading books.

The The Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai bears no resemblance to anything Glasgow will get. For starters the cost of this hotel was such that it was not built to make a profit, that would be impossible, it's main purpose is to show the world what a wonderful place Dubai is....a tourist flagship, if you will. Glasgows hotel will be required to make a profit and therefor there is no similarity.

I would say its getting more to be like London, soon we will have heart attack victims in the street and people will walk over the top of them believing they are drunken, jakey or junkie scum.
I even heard an old guy cracking a joke in relation to a zombie - everybody pretended to ignore him, even if what he said was funny. He gave a look believing he had done something wrong - shame
Glasgow is changing - its as if Glasgow people (outwith the beautiful set) are being socially excluded.
The place will never be the same again, not in a good way anyway.
Had to go over my post, just to ensure Scott from Airdrie (ET site controller) doesn't come on and claim that I have a literacy problem.

I was driving past some of the hotels on Argyle Street and wondered how many Glaswegians will actually ever see the insides of these places.

Never mind someone who works in the industry, the customer is always right!
A review of the Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London from a less than satisfied customer at Tripadvisor:
[quote]If you want to stay in a hotel where the decor is somwhere between Student Digs and a Little Chef for £250 per night then this place is for you. I can't stress enough how poor this hotel is compared to the others at the same rate in London. The staff are snooty, i had to change rooms twice and even the refurbed third room was average at best.
The facilities are a horrible swimming pool with plastic palm trees liek something out of a council run leisure centre and the gym which is so poor it beggars belief. Can't believe people liked this place, must have very low expectations of a place to stay. [bold]Seriously avoid, it really is a joke[/bold].[/quote]

No wonder the sales figures for the ET are plummeting if re-hashed PR puff like this is what fills the pages.
What about some analysis of whether or not a new hotel is needed; whether jobs created here will be lost elsewhere; whether a track record in Dubai is really a measure of how this place will fare; whether in fact it looks like a hideous glass carbuncle that will blot the landscape?

A few years ago I stayed in the Radisson in Glasgow and we had one or two minor problems. Thanks to Wendy's superb customer service skills and genuine concern for our requirements, I can say that if, as this article seems to suggest, she is offered a role in the Burj Al Broomielaw, she is an excellent choice.
However, I've heard from a very reliable source in the Planning Dept that the wee pawn shop on the corner has no intention of going quietly despite the press propaganda....
It seems that Wendy looks set to waste her talents at that scandalously overpriced dump in Loch Lomond a while longer yet.

Wasnt it the Hilton last week who were mentioning the down turn in corporate business? No doubts this hotel will be busy when there are big sports events on but other than that I predict it being a quiet place.

I'm fairly sure that Jumeirah will have done its sums before committing to invest £125m, and that the company sees that the investment is worthwhile.
I don't really see the downside of a company choosing to invest so much in Glasgow at the moment. It's not diverting any money from public expenditure, and from day one will be creating a lot of jobs.
Maybe my opinion is flawed. After all, I've got no problem with tourists coming to Glasgow either.

Are we saying that a private company, choosing to invest in Glasgow, needs to solve all Glasgow's problems before its classed as a good thing for Glasgow?

But just how many born and bred Glaswegians will get jobs in the construction, maintenance and running of the hotel, especially at a decent level??
Phillipinos, Poles, Romanians and everyone else will be in line before Glaswegians.
And before anyone starts the "racist" garbage, there is nothing wrong with be protectionist towards my fellow Scot!!!!

So, widespread financial insecurity, job losses, debt problems, homes reposessions... all that's a price worth paying to bolster your particular view of Glagsow and its "people values" - what ever that means.

Maybe he should be more concerned for the zombies, layabouts, cavemen, fatties, thugs and shoplifters (in Aidrie, the locals expect things for free, if they don't get what they want, they then become big violent monsters)
In case he comes on and starts having a go at others, he should inspect his own back yard.
Anyway
If I were a tourist from another land and going to London, or more appropriately (Edinburgh) - and I was looking for something to do given that I had some spare time after checking out what Edinburgh has on offer over a period of 5 days, I'd be looking at the map and saying "What's this Glasgow place got to offer?
Not much history, hmmm Provands Lordship and a Cathedral is about it for ancient stuff, some nice architecture, but for a big city - very little (Oh I see they destroyed a lot of 16th and 17th century Glasgow because it was old not so long ago (Very tourist driven thinking). Ahh, nice cemetery up on the hill (looking at some recent reports on the web, hmmm Vandlaism and assaults on park staff) maybe give that a miss, some museums (mostly aimed at children), a range of nice places to eat and some nice shops, but these shops are all the same as you get in London and Edinburgh and whether or not I like a drink, there's also plenty of snooty, overpriced bars as well as some clubs to go after hours.
Think I'll go to historic Stirling for the weekend after spending the day in Glasgow.
And that's about it for Glasgow in tourist world.

The city has grown in size since the end of the war, and yet our population has been slashed in half.
Car usage has grown since the end of the war, yet we have only around half the streets we once had.
As a resuklt of job loss due to de-industrialisation from the late 50's, we have around half of our remaining citizens out of work
With unemployment growing and uncertain stability, who knows what will be round the corner.
All that above, you don't need to wonder where the respect has gone for Glasgow and for each other, but then when it comes down to what London says, we do etc, then it hardly matters when we are clumped in with London, Birmingham and Manchester etc, they may have issues, but we are seperate to that Thistle, as you said with those words - my fellow Scot!!!!
This place (Glasgow) could be better, but its been reduced to a ghetto, except in The West End, Parts of the South Side and a large part of the city centre.
Everywhere else its lights out afer 6pm. I'm not saying we should go and replace everything that was wiped, even if it did bring in more tourists, build up local economy and produce local jobs, less of a high turnover of rented accommodation, Labour aren't interested, never have been.
Lovely place we have here.

If you could think as well as you can type you'd realise I'm talking about the inability to read replies to his questions, not typing errors.
If I could make any sense of your last paragraph I might be able to respond to that, too. Want to try it again in English?

Maybe in a few years' time, when Man U are drawn to play Celtic or Rangers in the Champions League, some "glamour model" from Glasgow will have nicer surroundings to be "spit-roasted" in by the Man U boys!! Remember, they already have a reputation for such behaviour!!

I guess the hotel will employ who it will employ, but for Scots to be employed in the hotel they'r going to have to apply to work there first. And that's not an assumption you can necessarily make. I know a fair few guys who run businesses who can't get local people to work for them, or who are either not up to the work, or up to working generally. Young guys who turn up, do a couple of weeks then sack it.

You may find that most of the North Side and East End of the city are excluded form such a privilege, but oddly not according to you - at the last count, I think I saw only one pub and a few shops in Springburn for example with a building above it, the rest looked like something from a ghetto to blend with zombie society.
Maybe that's why its buckfast and jail in these areas instead of people having nice communities cos some smart **** years ago thought that was old fashioned and ripped all the buildings and communities down.
Do you get it?
Do I need to go out more often to see what I (as well as other posters) have seen everyday for years, what else is there to see then except the two cities I see in my face, one decent city for people, and the other being a stinking hovvel.
So I ask the question again (and it was to the editor of the ET, nobody else)
Why is it only the West End and parts of the South Side are only priviliged to this type of set up, whereas its non-existant everywhere else?
No validity in that question? No such thing as equality for all Scott?
Hmmm - thats what you get for jumping in and trying to be smart, thinking I was Sydney.
It seems the oldest residencies seem to be more thriving and more successful than anything else thats been built in the city.
Pity not all are socially included.

I think a form of English using words and sentence construction understandable to the rest of us might be a useful start (what is "harber"?), but you'll understand if I don't take lessons in language skills from someone who struggles to rise above the level of "inbreed" "spewed out mince" and "b1tch".

Aye Glasgow is losing it's heart and soul. Nothing like the good auld days when it earned the "no mean city" title, and gangs ran the place. Slashings galore.
Walking through the wrong part of town meant taking your life in your hands.
Tenements daubed with graffiti with pro IRA and UDA slogans - none of this artistic crap we have today.
Families of 5,6 or 7 holed up in single end flats with no loo.
Proper poverty, where every working class family barely managed a living.
Aye Missing City, it's so much worse now!?!?!

TMC, daft wee Scott fae Airdrie is dafter than a bag of stoned monkeys, but I'm glad you're laying into him for a change as I got tired
wiping the floor with him over Glasgow's plummeting hotel occupancy rates (now officially the fastest-falling in the whole of the UK).
C'mon, geez a wee bit of your snash Scottie-boy...

Okay, Sydney, I;'ll retract the bit about you talking more sense.
Trust you to jump inot a conversation you knothing about just to attempt some point-scoring.
Just to remind you....
1. I was not part of the discussion you refer to in your fantasy of "wiping the floor" with me.
2. You couldn't wipe the floor if I gave you a mop
3. It's time you learned the difference between winning an argument on the merits of your case and the way they are put forward, and grinding people into submission by recycling the same boring rubbish until people can't bear to look at the discussion any more.
Stick to the topic instead of harking back to another discussion that you think you won, despite being on your own.

Oh, yes, and before you point out the typing errors, have you anything to contribute to the topic of the discussion, or is it just your one carefully-selected statistic about occupancy rates?

Oh come on Scottie-boy don't take the hump again... on a lighter note are you coming to the ET's Christmas party for its commentors? I hear the editor's taken out a plush suite at the Greek Thomson hotel for all of us, and there will be a delegation from Glasgow City Council popping-in to sign autographs and answer questions...

Most of these areas look as if they are ready for demolition due to neglect possibly resulting in futher social cleansing of the city. Anything you wish to add?
No shops with bulidngs above them?

So yes, Glasgow has moved on from being a city, to becoming a huge field for quite a large part of it (maybe not as much in the East as opposed to the heavily negected North Side due to the Commonwealth games which will enrich the city)
The new Glasgow is pure fake, an existence built upon New Labour failings.
Pity you don't speak about it, if you did, you would have to have seen these areas with your own eyes, just like I did.
However, some are too scared and instead have problems with the excrement coming away from their cheeks at the thought of being in such places within Glasgow.
Maybe that's why Purcell has most people chasing his carrot on a stick believing such circumstances within Glasgow do not exist, people have been left to rot for years and it didn't start with Purcell, it didn't even start with Thatcher either.
But as usual the people at the bottom of the chain, the statistics always seem to be the culprits for reasons which are largely beyond their control.
PS that's not excusing people who are vile, that is a separate issue entirely and should not be confused with those who are belittled by those above them for the sake at having a pop at those who are not so well off and have to live in post war hovvels.

Cumbernauld Road has very few shops, only at Haghill, then it becomes back and front doors, like all outer suburbs should be (except a few red sandstone homes) at Warriston Street heading up towards Smithycroft.
Duke St - lucky it wasn't all demolished unlike the Eastern part of Dennistoun which was wiped to create a brewery to feed the city on fizzy ****. However, between Millerston St and Bellgrove St it is the complete opposite of the Gallowgate and as most of Duke St lies redundant, it is nit picking as only a small patch within Dennistoun and Parkhead Cross remains intact
Alexandra Parade, ah well, about quarter of the street lies under the Royal Infirmary which used to house decent shops and decent buildings the rest looks ok in comparison to the rest of the hugely neglected East End.

Cumbernauld Road at Alexandra Parade, Duke Street between Bellgrove Street and Millerston Street, and Gallowgate nearer the city, Bridgeton, Tollcross, Shettleston....quite a few to be dismissed as nit-picking - then you go on to refer to parts of these areas that have no shops, so whether or not they have buildings above them is a moot point.

Still its poor
The North Side
Maryhill Road - fragmented
Keppochhill Road - no existant 2 shops in an entire stretch of road
Springburn Road - Ha Ha
Royston Raod - fragmented
Saracen St - Still largely intact, some demolition
Garscube Road - You having a laugh?
Main Streets in the Inner suburbs back when they were busy (at least they used to be) most people wouldn't entertain these areas now because they look evil.
And then there's areas which do no good for the city.
Townhead, a scheme bordered by a busy city, for which is running out of development space for the prestigious Buchanan Galleries extension and a motorway at its Eastern side.
Anderston - again motorway and business on one side with office blocks and SECC on the other side as well as the busy remainder of Argyle St
What are these areas contributing to Glasgow?
Nothing, just a place for eating, sleeping and claiming incapacity.
Sounds like a huge public hostel, not my idea of the height of luxury Scott.
It all needs to be wiped with emphasis of creating an equal city that can be enjoyed by all, wiping out once major parts of Glasgow only to let these areas become fields of grass for 40, maybe 50 years or more is doing us more harm than good.
If that's not the case, why is there so many brownfield sites in the city and in turn, developers are building on green belt instead?
As said earlier - 1st Class planning.

Townhead, a scheme bordered by a busy city, for which is running out of development space for the prestigious Buchanan Galleries extension and a motorway at its Eastern side.
Anderston - again motorway and business on one side with office blocks and SECC on the other side as well as the busy remainder of Argyle St
What are these areas contributing to Glasgow?
Nothing, just a place for eating, sleeping and claiming incapacity.
Sounds like a huge public hostel, not my idea of the height of luxury Scott.
It all needs to be wiped with emphasis of creating an equal city that can be enjoyed by all, wiping out once major parts of Glasgow only to let these areas become fields of grass for 40, maybe 50 years or more is doing us more harm than good.
If that's not the case, why is there so many brownfield sites in the city and in turn, developers are building on green belt instead?
As said earlier - 1st Class planning.

Good to see you're not denying the pious and pompous bit.

As for me, just the usual o grades, highers, first class honours, post grad diplomas, etc. Over to you son. Dazzle us with your smarts.

You've got to love the sub-standard para-Marxist banger patter from some of the clowns on here.
Two private companies plan to invest £125m (just so happens to be in our city)...and this is a bad thing how in relation to the city's social progress? What is it we are missing out on with this being built? Why is this a zero-sum-gain?
The pretendy champions of the underclass on here spend half their time spouting cyber-shoite about a city full of neds, junkies, single-maws, jakes, crooks, sectarian bigots and unwanted 'ethnic groups'.......then come over all Plastic Trotsky when somethimg unailenably good is proposed.
Youse are about as left-wing as Tory B_liar and Hen Broon. Pull your necks in and give the brass a polish; it's been hell of a wet lately and you lot have had them sticking out for far too long.

Again, you refer to areas that have been "wiped", so they can't be part of your inaccurate generalisation that "the VAST MAJORITY of RETAIL/LICENSED units DO NOT have buildings above them" - the "wiped" areas are irrelevant to your argument, because they don't have units WITH or WITHOUT buildings.
Good to see that you have left that statement behind and moved onto different ground, but to suggest that the whole city should be wiped out to create some sort of model city is naive in the extreme - if no-one wants the existing brownfield sites, who is going to want even more in your "wiped" areas?
Some of us have to deal with reality.

Totally contradicting what I have said earlier Scott - this story is [bold]not[/bold] good news
I would love the majority of Glasgow people to be able to enjoy the delights of what is happening for the minority of elitist Glaswegians (If they are Glaswegians) however you tend to disagree with my earlier posts and that social exclusion does not exist.
That is reality - the doom and gloom that your political ancestors created for us, can't get away from it - even if it drives you into Parkhead or Carstairs, it will still be there eating away at your brain knowing that it has driven you insane because social exclusion is here to stay and it won't go away, hopefully that doesn't happen to you but as you can see - I'm not one for staying indoors - too much like cabin fever.
And that building does look good as an artists impression, even keeping an old building which used to house Henry Healy.
Hopefully it doesn't turn into a piece of tack on the same par as the Cine World building in Renfrew Street.

Sadly this is reality too - not how I said the word sadly????
We have went from nothing 10 years ago to a huge tourist Mecca?

Look outside the goldfish bowl, Glasgow unfortunately is nothing compared to ther places, regardless of what some reputable book says - it has no par with London, Edinburgh, Paris, New York, Rome etc
It would be good if it [bold]was[/bold] up there, but its more to do with hotels, bars, restaurants and shops and I need more than that to spend more than 24 hours in Glasgow.
In that respect, Glasgow has superior competition and probably always will unless some major miracle occurs.

It would be good if it
was up there, but its more to do with hotels, bars, restaurants and shops and I need more than that to spend more than 24 hours in Glasgow.
In that respect, Glasgow has superior competition and probably always will unless some major miracle occurs.

How can you possibly know if the hotel has been poorly designed or not from a artists vauge impression of it, and tacky its not even been built yet man, get a grip of yourself! Im sure the good reviews of this hotel group far out number the poor reviews. And where did New Labour come from, what have they got to do with it, (don't listen to the voices Sid they are not real)

The [bold]Sad FACT[/bold] is People like Wendy are thought of and disrespected like a **** in Dubai. If an inter race couple walked down the street in Dubai they would be openly sneered at. These Arabs are amongst the Greediest People in the World and have Horrendous working conditions for its cheap labour market. They are Total Racists and make us look like boy scouts in this area. Personally I wouldn’t give them the time of day and by the way tell them to pay for their first bill of the Gulf War !!

Many of the 3 storey tenement buildings reduced to just ground floor shops (and pubs)on Glasgow's main roads were on the brink of falling down anyway and the homes were in extremely bad condition. By moving people to the wastelands of Castlemilk, Easterhouse etc there was no rush to rebuild the areas which had been decimated. Now the inner city areas are being re-populated again - but not with the type of property which once stood there.

Social exclusions is, has been and will be for the foreseeable future, a problem - but you're not going to solve it by wiping out Glasgow and starting again. Nor are you going to solve it by blocking those with the means and ambition from doing something just because it doesn't fix all the other problems at once.

You mentioned two areas in your sweeping generalisation about there being no buildings above pubs and shops - North and East.
I supplied a number of examples to show that it doesn't apply in the East (buildings above shops/pubs), and you supplied examples of why it doesn't apply in the North (no pubs/shops to have buldings above them).
Therefore, your original statement is patently wrong, and I don't have to take a personal tour of the North of the city to prove it.
Certain areas of Glasgow could do with improvement, but that is no reason to block development elsewhere - would you force the devlopers of the new hotel to build it in Springburn instead?
Glad you like Mr. Purcell so much - it's not something I've ever given an opinion on.

Because this is faceless, you can't stick to the line of the discussion?
Who said they wanted a hotel in Springburn??
I don't think its really fair that the rest of the city (the bit that was largely smashed away) is missing out while snooty's get their pleasures in the lavish of luxury.
Take a tour of the North Side, an abundance of fields and masses of open space, plenty of retail/licenced units with no buildings above them too, obviously you have that in the East End as well, but you seem to have ignored that earlier and focussed on specifics, when making up the city as a whole, is failry minimal.
If this place is ok, according to some, why does the ET and the media in general create so much bad news
And in relation to an earlier post someone wrote, not you of course.... I'd rather have the "no Mean City - 4 murders in 10 years" than the crazy city and murders almost every weekend today, with half the population of that when it was no Mean City.
I'm sure people would give their right arm for that.
No Mean City was gangs of men who were mostly workers
Today these people who make up gangs are loser ned scum who probably have never worked a day in their life, that's if they are at school leaving age - how the today can be compared in sinmilarity to the 1930's, is beyond me.
No comparison - apart from some dodgy housing and some dodgy working conditions, Glasgow was a proper city - today its a hellhole.

great timing the pawnbroker they'll have to relocate will probobley be the only shop left open in scotland the way things are going what does Glasgow need a long hard look at itself who are we kidding The Burj's are amazing buildings unless you were one of the workers who worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week 52 weeks a year and were lucky if you got paid the pittance they call wages

And for the benefit of your ignorance Scott - I have lived and seen most of the North Side of the city for the past 9 years. Lived in all four areas of the city, so I have the right to comment on what I see and what I have seen, you live in Aidrie, so your only a visitor who probably only sees what they read and see on telly.
You seem to believe you are right and I am wrong, yet I see this crap every single day.

This article is about a hotel, and you don't seem to be happy about it being built because Sprinburn isn't perfect yet.
You can dismiss the numerous examples I gave as "specifics", but you can generalise all you like? Are you saying fields and open spaces are a bad thing, then, along with the retail untis with no buildings above them....?
All this "unfair" and "snootys" is a smokescreen. As I said before, why shouldn't those with the means and ambition be allowed to get on with satisfying their target market? Is it envy?
Glasgow not the same as it was because gangs are no longer workers? Now you're being ridiculous! I suggest you get your rose-tinted past-glasses off. Glasgow is not a hellhole - you just choose to see it as such based on some very selective interpretations, sweeping generalisations and denial of the evidence.
Yes, of course anyone who doesn't wholly agree with you must be deranged....clearly you are perfect. Easy way to win an argument, you think?

Besides, what was your point, did you have one, will you ever stay in that hotel, you one of Purcell's darlings too? [/quote] No need to thank me for the material....
Oh, there's that Purcell fixation raising its head again!! Weren't you the one who said "Who said they like Purcell????
Because this is faceless, you can't stick to the line of the discussion?"
One rule for you, another for everyone else????

Could I change the headline - "I've seen The Height Of Luxury And Its Not Sailing Up The Clyde To Glasgow" Docked several miles away at Port Glasgow. Port Helensburgh would be a start.
