The first in the perennially popular Malmaison chain of hip, sophisticated boutique hotels is located slightly out of the main centre of Glasgow in a converted Episcopal church, which offers all the comfortable accommodation that you might expect from this company as well as stylish touches that you’d expect from a high-end luxury destination. The Big Yin suite, named after Billy Connolly, is a particular highlight, coming complete with tartan roll-top bath, decadently oversized four-poster bed and Bose sound system.
Glasgow might well have come on in leaps and bounds in terms of places to stay, but for the discerning, this is still the most reliable place in the city for a stay. The attached brasserie offers good value lunches and dinners that make intelligent use of local Glaswegian and Scottish produce, as well as an excellent breakfast that will set anyone up for the journeys ahead.
