Following the news that High Blantyre’s Spa at Crossbasket will open in 2025, it looks like Bothwell may be getting one too!
Scottish hospitality operator Manorview has submitted a planning application to transform their Bothwell hotel, Bothwell Bridge with modern facilities and the addition of a new spa!
With much of the façade being retained, architects have also recommended the addition of an orangery to the front of the property which will be an extension to the restaurant and function spaces.
The hotel will see the addition of 70 bedrooms and the restaurant will include a 175-cover brasserie style dining space
Plans for the spa include a rooftop hydrotherapy pool and plunge pool, seven treatment rooms, experience showers, sauna, and lounge for refreshments. In addition, plans also include on-site gym facilities.
David Tracey, Managing Director 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.”
It’s estimated the build and hotel opening will create 150-200 jobs. And though there is not an opening timeline yet, Manorview are hoping to commence work in 2025, and are committed to opening the venue as soon as feasible.
The plans will be reviewed by the local planning board and will need to be approved ahead of work starting.
