Ownership
The hotel started out as the Esso Motor Hotel of Erskine. Since then it has changed ownership three times. Esso sold the business to the Crest Hotel Group. Then it was sold to the Forte Group of hotels and then to its current owners the Cosmopolitan Hotel Group.
Construction
The hotel was built by Daniel Construction Company (now Fluor Corporation) at a cost of £1m. The on-site architects were Morris and Steedman. The hotel interior was designed by Cope Notter Design Associates. There is park and fly facilities for Glasgow Airport, gym, swimming pool and conference suites at the hotel. There was also a nine-hole pitch and putt golf course. That land is now being used for car parking.
