Originally named the Erskine Bridge Hotel, it opened in 1971. It was originally planned and owned by the oil company Esso. It was Scotland's second motor based hotel as Esso had already opened another unit in Edinburgh.OwnershipThe hotel started out as the Esso Motor Hotel of Erskine, and was named the Erskine Bridge Hotel at opening. 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, who renamed the hotel to the Erskine Bridge Hotel & Spa.ConstructionThe hotel was built by Daniel Construction Company 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.
