PLANNING approval has been granted for a new hotel at Glasgow Airport.
The DMA-designed hotel will be built next to the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel at Glasgow Airport Business Park.
The new five-storey block will provide 196 guest rooms, public areas on the ground floor and 52 additional car park spaces.
Bosses want to use the design of the hotel to inject “architectural interest, colour and scale” by using high-quality building finishes.

The new building is similar in length to the existing adjacent hotels, but the scale is broken down.
Herbert Lui, DMA partner: said "Our client, Cairn Group, saw an opportunity to meet the demand for guest rooms in this location with a high-quality new building.
“Our contemporary approach is sympathetic in scale and massing to the context.
“The building is on a site that already benefits from established infrastructure.

“The hotel will bring investment to the area and generate opportunities for local employment.
“It is also designed to meet the safeguarding requirements stipulated by Glasgow Airport authorities."
This project is the latest in a number of airport hotels designed by DMA. Other projects in recent years include the Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express at Aberdeen Airport.
