News in brief:
Clayton Hotels opens in Glasgow
Whilst you won’t earn any miles or points for staying there – unless you book via Hotels.com Rewards or similar – the new Clayton Hotel Glasgow City may be worth a look if you are heading that way.
As you can see from the image below, a 16 story building has been blended ino the existing listed Custom House building. It is on Clyde Street.
The hotel has 303 rooms, with the public areas based in the refurbished historical part which dates back 180 years.
Clayton’s sister brand, Maldron, also opened a 300 bedroom Glasgow hotel in August 2021. The Irish company now has 17 UK hotels across the two brands with more in the pipeline, including Brighton and Manchester.
Virgin Hotels is also opening in Glasgow with the website now showing 16th March 2023 as the delayed launch date.
easyJet expands its base at Belfast International
easyJet has announced an expansion of its base at Belfast International Airport.
An 8th aircraft will be based in Belfast from the Summer 2023 season. The first new route to be announced is Rhodes, which will see two flights per week from June.
The addition of just one extra aircraft means the creation of 40 new jobs in Belfast, primarily for cabin crew.
