Positioned on the outskirts of Glasgow the Holiday Inn East Kilbride underwent a full and extensive refurbishment in 2017. The design works involved removing the secondary kitchen servery area in the bar area to create the open-plan space required by the IHG approval documents. This allowed us to increase the bar presence and give a direct view from the reception on arrival. A new signature reception desk was installed alongside new bespoke bookcase joinery elements that housed locally themed bric-a-brac to help the hotel settle into its local environment.
An independent restaurant was created behind a newly formed chicane, this new steakhouse restaurant called the ‘Cow on the hill’ morphs from hotel breakfast in the morning to destination restaurant in the evenings.
