A team room designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has opened its doors after a £10m restoration.

The 200-seat Mackintosh restored Willow Tea Rooms building is expected to welcome at least 360,000 visitors a year.

First opened in 1903, the building at 217 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, is of international significance.

It is the only building where Mackintosh had total control over the architecture and the decorative elements, including the design of the cutlery and the waitresses' uniforms.

The new heritage attraction, known as Mackintosh at The Willow, will include a gallery, billiard room and an exhibition, retail, learning and education and conference suite in the adjoining building.

Chair of The Willow Tea Rooms Trust, Celia Sinclair, said: "It is marvellous to see our first guests coming over the threshold of the restored building.

"We have worked hard to bring the building back to the original interior designed by Mackintosh of 1903.

"I hope that visitors will enjoy a cup of tea and light lunch in these amazing surroundings."

To mark 150 years since the architect's birth, the tea rooms opened for the public to preview on June 7.

The attraction has a predicted annual turnover of £3m and will operate as a social enterprise and hub for Glasgow, creating 40 full-time roles.

Ms Sinclair added: "Mackintosh at the Willow along with the visitor centre and learning and education suite are an integral part of the aims and objectives of the trust to educate and inspire, restore and preserve this iconic piece of Glasgow's heritage."

In June, the Mackintosh Glasgow School of Art was struck with a major blaze, devastating it and nearby buildings.

The building was undergoing a multimillion-pound restoration after it was partly destroyed by a fire four years before, which resulted in the loss of the celebrated Mackintosh Library.
