New Hampton Inn for Glasgow

Postby RapidAssistant » Fri Feb 28, 2014 9:51 am

I see we're getting in a Hampton Inn (Hilton's version of a Premier Inn/Travelodge; they're everywhere in the US) - the first one in Scotland next year;

That office block in question went up in the early '70s - one for the HG historians - was there not a hotel called the Cockburn there many years ago (like back in Edwardian times...), anyone have any info on it??

I think Robert Pool may have some memorabilia on a Cockburn Hotel at 14 Bath Street which offered billiards, turkish baths and board on the American principle.
