The Hamilton, Glasgow, will be a 120 room luxury 5 star hotel and spa and is a combination of restoration and new-build, encompassing three listed buildings – The James Miller Building, the Anatomy Building of Queen Margaret College and North Park House – alongside a sympathetically designed, newly-constructed bedroom wing.
 
The Anatomy Building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and John Keppie, hidden from view for much of BBC Scotland’s 72 years on this site, and its restoration will add significantly to Glasgow’s aspiration to become a Charles Rennie Mackintosh World Heritage site.  
 
Planned for opening in 2011, The Hamilton represents an investment of £26m.

The site is owned by QMD Hotels Limited which is a joint venture between Blackrock International Land (UK) Limited and Esk Properties Limited.  Heads of terms have been agreed with The Hamilton (Glasgow) Limited to purchase the site and to develop and operate the hotel.
 
Heather MacLeod, Managing Director of THG, said it plans to enter into a franchise agreement with an international hotel group under which The Hamilton would benefit from the infrastructure and support systems of a major luxury hotel group while retaining its own, unique branding and atmosphere.
