Info
The Charing Cross Complex - now styled as Elmbank Gardens (but sometimes popularly referred to as the Charing Cross Tower), is a multi-use commercial complex in the Charing Cross area of Glasgow, Scotland. Best known for its signature 14-storey tower which overlooks the M8 motorway and stands directly opposite the Mitchell Library, it was designed by Richard Seifert and constructed between 1969 and 1973. It is one of the tallest and most prominent high rise buildings on the western side of Glasgow city centre. The surface buildings of the subterranean railway station which serves Charing Cross are also an integral part of the complex.
Since 1995, the tower element has been used as a hotel, which is currently operated by the Premier Inn chain, whilst the remainder of the complex is home to offices (currently branded as The Venlaw) and a number of other leisure and entertainment businesses.
