The Best Hotels in Glasgow

"Luxuriate in Georgian Splendour When Blythswood Square was constructed in the Georgian area, it was meant to be the new center of the city. That didn't happen, but the elegant square is just a stone's throw from the thick of the action. Its centerpiece is Blythswood Square Hotel, which exudes period class in everything from its patterned marble floors to the wooden panelling throughout. The hotel's crowning glory is its excellent fine-dining restaurant, which is situated in the ballroom and comes complete with a zinc-topped bar and Harris Tweed banquettes. Don't miss the imaginative desserts."

"A Touch of Caledonian Class The plush rooms at this city center option carry a strong hint of Scotland in everything from the judicious hints of tartan in the decor to the complimentary decanters of whisky, gin, and vodka. A rooftop restaurant continues the theme with contemporary takes on traditional Caledonian cuisine."

"Contemporary Class You get a lot of bang for your buck at this stylish option on the northern fringes of the city centre. Contemporary rooms boast striking decor and generous windows, while the lobby has a lounge area, a workspace and a 24-hour cafe."

"International Brand With Period Charm Overlooking Glasgow's Botanical Gardens, this modern hotel is situated in a row of stately Venetian-style townhouses. The best rooms offer marble floors and living and dining spaces."

"If you’re in Glasgow and looking to splurge, Hotel du Vin is where you want to stay. Set on a tree-lined Victorian terrace in the fashionable West End neighborhood, it’s one of the city’s most luxurious accommodations. Here, you’ll find 49 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, complete with hand-sprung mattresses, fine Egyptian linens, deep-soaking tubs, and plasma TVs. Also on-site is a handsome bar, cigar shack, and whisky room, plus a signature bistro where guests dine on fresh, locally sourced cuisine under a sparkling chandelier. Stay put to indulge in the spa and sumptuous afternoon tea, or head out to explore some of the city’s best museums, shops, and cafés."

"Traditional Class Meets Modern Sass Although it is a relatively recent addition to Glasgow's hotel portfolio, Hotel Indigo somehow already feels timeless. Elegant decor throughout enhances this appeal. The attached Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, meanwhile, provides additional cache to an already alluring overall package."

"A Truly Sanctified Sleep A former 19th Century church, Malmaison Glasgow is full of character. With 72 rooms, including eight suites, kitted out with luxury trimming the hotel doesn't scrimp on class. The brasserie, which is housed in what used to be a crypt, is a popular venue for lunch. The most exciting recent addition to the hotel is The Honours -- a new venture by multi Michelin-starred Scottish chef Martin Wishart. Standouts from the menu include a 500g Chateaubriand steak cooked on a Josper high-temperature charcoal grill."
