Scottish boutique hotel group Manorview has proposed plans for a significant redevelopment of the Bothwell Bridge Hotel, which includes the addition of a new spa.
The group, which also owns Boclair House in Bearsden and the Redhurst in Giffnock, acquired the South Lanarkshire hotel in 2022.
The plans involve a complete interior refurbishment of Bothwell Bridge, creating 70 bedrooms, including a Honeymoon Suite and a guest suite accommodating up to six people.
A 175-cover brasserie-style dining area will replace the current restaurant, while a relaxed lounge space will be introduced for guests to enjoy coffee, cakes, and pastries.
Manorview plans to add a large wedding and function suite, along with a separate celebration space at the rear of the property, as well as private dining facilities.
An orangery will be added to the front of the property, serving as an extension to the restaurant and function spaces.
The spa plans include a rooftop hydrotherapy pool and plunge pool, seven treatment rooms, experience showers, a sauna, a lounge for refreshments, and on-site gym facilities.
Manorview stated that it is applying insights gained from its sister hotels to the project.
Manorview managing director David Tracey said: “We are very excited at the prospect of bringing Bothwell Bridge to life in a new way. We recognise that the hospitality market has shifted in recent times, with relaxation and wellbeing high on the agenda for local and national guests. So, we knew we wanted to include a spa and gym in our plans.
“Our aim for Bothwell Bridge is to have something not just for hotel guests, but a place that locals can unwind, relax and enjoy memorable moments with family and friends.”
The construction and opening of the hotel are expected to create between 150 and 200 jobs.
Although there is no set timeline for the opening, Manorview hopes to begin work in 2025, pending approval of the plans.
