Dalata Hotel Group is the largest hotel group in Ireland, and now has a growing presence in the UK, including its latest opening which is its first hotel in Scotland. The four-star Maldron hotel is located on Renfrew St, in the heart of Glasgow’s shopping, restaurant & theatre district. The £40million property features new spacious air-conditioned bedrooms, bar and restaurant, resident’s gym, and state-of-the-art business facilities. The hotel is also highly tech-enabled with chromecast in each bedroom, digital check-in and a virtual guest services platform.
Maldron Hotel Glasgow City represents a significant investment and vote of confidence in Scotland by Dalata, providing a substantial economic boost to the city as it recovers from the impact of Covid-19.
Dalata already operates more than 45 hotels across the UK and Ireland, and the Maldron Hotel Glasgow City will be followed in 2022 with the opening of a 4-star Clayton Hotel on Customs Quay, Glasgow.
Hazel Galloway, general manager, Maldron Hotel Glasgow City says: “I am extremely proud to open this hotel in my home city after what has been a challenging year for everyone in hospitality. I believe we have assembled among the very best in the business for our 80-strong team and we worked extremely hard to ensure the finest of welcomes to our guests arriving today.”
Welcoming the new arrival to Glasgow, Jim Clarkson, regional leadership director (west), VisitScotland, adds: “Congratulations to the team at the Maldron Hotel on opening in Glasgow this summer. At a time when we are working hard with partners to restore the city’s tourism industry to growth, this is a welcome addition to Glasgow capacity for attracting new events and leisure business in the months and years ahead. This new hotel and its 80-strong workforce represent a fresh boost for the city centre, and a great sign that Glasgow is back in business.”
