Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel

On a quiet hilltop, a stone’s throw away from Glasgow’s city centre, sits the grand Georgian townhouse that the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel calls home. This luxury escape is tucked away among private gardens, but only a 15-minute walk from bustling George Square, or a three-minute stroll to the shops of Sauchiehall Street.

Tearing yourself away from the hotel might prove to be a challenge, though. The hotel spa is renowned for a reason. Experience the chill of Scotland’s first snow shower and the clarifying air of the Himalayan salt room before settling into the soothing warmth of the sauna. 

Kick off each day with the superb breakfast buffet or your favourite cooked-to-order option. The hotel restaurant – iasg, which comes from the Gaelic word for fish – serves up sumptuous Scottish seafood in the impressive former ballroom. The super friendly bar staff will whip you up delicious cocktails at all hours – on weekends they’re backed by resident DJs. Celebrating something special? Enjoy a spot of afternoon tea in the salon.

Many of the rooms feature original Georgian fireplaces, rich wood panelling, and lofty ceilings. Standout marble bathrooms make them all feel extra special.
