Best 4 Star Hotels In Glasgow

Glasgow wasn’t named a UNESCO Creative City for nothing.  The city was officially recognised for its incredible live music scene in 2008 but it’s not just music that Glasgow thrives on. It’s an inherently creative city with the arts at its beating heart and we think any visit to Scotland is not complete without a dip into the vibrancy of Glasgow. Glasgow has its fair share of luxury hotels and we happen to know the best ones. Here are our favourite 4-star hotels to stay at in the city.

The Address Glasgow, a new 95-bed boutique hotel by the family-owned Irish hospitality group The Address Collective, has opened its doors in the heart of Glasgow on Renfield Street, marking its first venture outside Ireland. The six-storey hotel, housed in a meticulously renovated classical building dating back to the 1890s, includes a restaurant, a fully equipped gym, and a wellness suite with a unique Himalayan rock salt sauna and plunge pool. The opening of this luxury hotel, which invested over £9 million in renovations, has not only brought an elevated sense of luxury and Scottish heritage to Glasgow but also enhanced the city’s hospitality scene. North, a 70-seater restaurant and bar within the hotel, focuses on casual dining with contemporary dishes and sustainable produce. The hotel is an urban retreat and a perfect reflection of Glasgow’s rich culture.
