The 13 best hotels in Glasgow: where to stay in 2026

A stone’s throw away from the hustle-and-bustle of Buchanan Street, this stunning Georgian townhouse is ideally situated for you to make the most of Glasgow. As soon as you step through the doorway, you’ll feel the quality like a slap in the face. Once the headquarters of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club, the dazzling, chandelier-lit foyer is highly finished with art deco-style marble floors and doric columns. The 113 guest rooms are spotless and sleek, with modern, simple furnishings, and all of the facilities you might need – including a yoga mat. Breakfast and dinner is served in iasg, with a focus on Scottish seafood, and there’s an award-winning spa, too.

Minimalists, beware – this place isn’t for you. The extravagantly decorated lobby at the House of Gods – with its moody lighting, Moët & Chandon vending machine and outsized floral displays – is just a prelude for the bedrooms, which go all-in on louche glamour. From zebra print sofas to freestanding brass baths, every element is designed for maximum impact, yet somehow, it works. At a time when most new hotels trade in pared-back, vaguely Scandi designs, you have to admire a bold punt in the opposite direction. Importantly, everything here is immaculate, the hospitality is warm and the staff members’ enthusiasm is genuinely infectious. The team is on hand via WhatsApp to answer any questions and responses are unfailingly quick and helpful. For a special occasion, add the Treat Me Like I’m Famous package to your stay for £119. Among other indulgent extras, it gets you two glasses of prosecco on arrival and another bottle on ice in your room, a £40 bar tab to be enjoyed in the bar or as room service, bedtime milk and cookies delivered by your butler, breakfast with mimosas on the rooftop and a late checkout.

Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens feels more like a grand private residence than a hotel. Spread across five interconnected Victorian townhouses, the place is a maze of duck-egg blue corridors, stained-glass windows and William Morris carpets that lead to mahogany-and-leather lounges and quietly decadent bedrooms, each with plenty of space to dance around after a few too many glasses of wine at the hotel bar. Its restaurant, One Devonshire Gardens, is a destination in its own right, and focuses on seasonal Scottish ingredients under the watch of Head Chef Martin Thliveros.

Opened in summer 2026, this is the latest – and arguably the coolest – addition to Glasgow’s hotel offering. The building that houses the now Arthouse Hotel has a long history (including as the childhood home of former Prime Minister Henry Campbell Bannerman) and period features like stained glass and intricate cornicing have been beautifully restored. Many of the city’s top creative talents have been tapped to help build Arthouse Hotel into a uniquely Glaswegian space: in your room, you’ll find goodies from Glasgow-based Bare Bones Chocolate and reading material from Ripe Magazines, while the lobby is decked out with flowers from West End florist Studio Kumari. There’s also an impressive commitment to developing the next generation of Glaswegian talent. In partnership with the Glasgow School of Art, the hotel has established the Arthouse Award, a yearly bursary for Glasgow-based artists, which also gives the winner the chance to have a piece on display in the hotel. Don’t miss dining at the in-house restaurant, Celantano’s, one of Glasgow’s best restaurants. The breakfasts also come courtesy of the Celentano’s team and are another highlight: the cornbread and the smoked salmon, which is smoked by the team itself, are particularly good.

Native Glasgow's centrality certainly sweetens the deal, if that's your non-negotiable. But aside from being rather well-connected, this posh pad is pretty cosy. Set in a historical Edwardian building, it's all the high style of a boutique with the convenience and hominess of an apartment. The ornate ceiling carvings and vintage decor in the lobby bar make it no ordinary nightcap. And when it comes to heading up to your apartment you'll be pleasantly surprised by how spacious the layout is, with some even offering dramatic panoramas of the city.

Glasgow is a city full of impressive, dark-stone buildings. The 19th-century train station, with its red brick-vaulted archways, glass-walled connecting bridge and Edwardian booking offices might be one of the most impressive of all. As a result, the opportunity to stay within it is always going to be an attractive proposition. The Grade A-listed Grand Central has an atmosphere all to its own, and stepping through its heavy doors does feel a bit like walking into a different century. Lighting throughout the building is atmosphere-enhancingly dim, combining with the dark-wood fixtures and stone surfaces to create an air of heft and significance. Rooms and suites are styled with a contemporary boutique look. Don’t miss Champagne Central, the elegant champagne bar with windows overlooking the bustling concourse at the adjacent railway station. Even if you're not staying here, you can pop in for a drink.

There’s a fun, metropolitian vibe to the place (guests at Z Hotels are described as ‘urbanites’ rather than tourists, but you can keep that to yourself if you prefer) and (no doubt a contributing factor to the success) complimentary cheese and wine can be found in the dining area every evening, yup! Continental breakfast is served in The Z Café every morning, and including fresh croissants, pastries, cereals, fresh fruit salad along with bacon rolls. Other dishes are available throughout the day. You'll be able to make the most of the city too as you're right in the heart of things.

Glasgow lies between the 55th and 56th parallel, as all them Geographers out there will know. So it's only right that it is home to some of its own Scandi-influenced chic. It's a four-star place to stay, too. The rooms at this swish (but Scandi as we said, not Swiss) hotel are modern with and genuinely leave us with no choice but to use the word 'cool'.
