Elmbank Gardens, Office building and hotel tower in Charing Cross, Scotland.
Elmbank Gardens incorporates a 14-story tower with a white concrete facade and three elevators serving multiple commercial spaces and hotel rooms.
Richard Seifert designed this mixed-use development in 1973, which became a significant part of the Charing Cross and Anderston regeneration project.
The building appears on the album cover of Raintown by Deacon Blue, representing the architectural evolution of Glasgow in the 1970s.
Located near the M8 motorway and Charing Cross railway station, the complex provides convenient access for business travelers and hotel guests.
The structure features concrete murals by local artists along its pathways and includes a sunken garden between Bath Street and Elmbank Crescent.
