Crowne Plaza Glasgow, High-rise hotel in Finnieston, Scotland
The Crowne Plaza Glasgow rises 17 floors along the River Clyde, featuring a glass exterior that mirrors the surrounding waterfront and cityscape.
The building opened in 1989 as the Forum Hotel with a construction cost of £22.5 million before joining the InterContinental Hotels Group in 2005.
The hotel functions as a central meeting point for conferences and events, connecting visitors to Glasgow's business and entertainment sectors.
The property contains four elevators, including a glass-sided lift that provides views across the River Clyde and Kingston Bridge during travel.
The building skips the thirteenth floor due to numerical superstition, with the top level marked as floor sixteen despite having fifteen actual stories.
