Apex Hotels yet to develop plans for Dundee’s Custom House and Harbour Chambers

Apex Hotels have still to develop plans for the historic Custom House and Harbour Chambers in Dundee.

The company bought the landmark building next to its City Quay Hotel & Spa with the apparent intention of promoting it as a conference centre.

Custom House and Harbour Chambers had been marketed as a prospective upmarket hotel site, and Apex’s acquisition was seen as a shrewd move in preventing a rival hotelier from moving in next door.

Apex said yesterday it has no plans set in stone for Custom House.

The chain is to open a hotel in Glasgow, its first in west Scotland, next year.
