Glasgow’s voco Grand Central Hotel will open its doors today (1 June) to guests as part of a phased reopening following its temporary closure in March.
The announcement marks an important milestone in the hotel’s ongoing reopening after the Union Street fire, with guests once again able to stay, dine and meet in the landmark city centre hotel.
voco Grand Central’s interiors, accommodation and key public spaces will be open from today, with some additional restoration works continuing on the staircase area.
Champagne Central will reopen with a refreshed drinks offering, including a new cocktail menu. Its popular afternoon tea menu will also return as well as an early evening set menu. Tempus Restaurant will also be fully operational for breakfast service, as usual.
Marcello Ventisei, General Manager of voco Grand Central, said: “We are incredibly pleased to be reopening our doors today, marking another important chapter in the story of one of the city’s most treasured buildings.
“The outpouring of support we have received over recent months from our guests, neighbours, partners and the wider public has been truly overwhelming, and we are enormously grateful for the kindness and patience shown to us throughout this period.
“We would also like to once again express our sincere thanks to the firefighters and emergency services, whose professionalism, bravery and swift response during the incident were exceptional.”
Since its inception in 1883, voco Grand Central has stood at the heart of Glasgow for more than 140 years, welcoming generations of visitors and playing a central role in the city’s hospitality story.
Marcello continued: “This hotel has been part of the fabric of the city since 1883 and has stood through some extraordinary moments in history. While this has undoubtedly been a challenging chapter, we are proud to be welcoming guests back and looking forward to the future.
“This reopening is particularly exciting for our team, many of whom have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for the hotel’s return. The spirit of the building, and the affection people hold for it, has remained unmistakably strong.
“Guests can expect the same warm welcome and experience they know and love from the moment they arrive.”
