m

St Andrew House (now styled as the Premier Inn Glasgow Buchanan Galleries) is a prominent 18–storey high rise building situated on West Nile Street in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. The 71-metre (233 ft) building was completed and opened in 1964 as an office building, however, it was purchased by Premier Inn hotel chain owners Whitebread Hotels in 2008. Work commenced to refurbish the building in 2010 to turn the vacant office space into a budget hotel. The building reopened as a Premier Inn, named Premier Inn Glasgow Buchanan Galleries, in October 2012. At 71 metres (233 ft), St Andrew House is currently the 15th tallest building in Glasgow, behind the 73 m (240 ft) Glasgow City Chambers and ahead of Hilton Glasgow at 70 m (230 ft).
