HOTEL REVIEW | Hilton Garden Inn Glasgow City Centre

★★★★ | Hilton Garden Inn Glasgow City Centre

A contemporary gateway into modern connected Glasgow

Hilton Glasgow

Set along Glasgow’s famous Clyde River, the Hilton Garden Inn is the perfect place to stay, when visiting the bustling city of Glasgow.

Situated in the redeveloped and developing area around the historic Finnieston Quay, the hotel is a stone’s throw from the burgeoning media city and the sports facilities that were in full use during the Commonwealth Games 2014.

The newly built hotel has 164 guest rooms, which all feature an iMac entertainment system and free WIFI along with, what I would call room essentials, an ironing board, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities. There’s also a well equipped, free Precor gym, should you want to burn off calories from the exquisite food available from the AA Rosette restaurant, City Café.

The rooms are well appointed, with an inventive, airy, modern sensitivity, and best of all they offer stunning views across the river, and spectacular visions of The Clyde Arc, or as some around these parts call it, the ‘Squinty Bridge.’ It’s especially beautiful at night as the coloured light from the bridge reflects off the inky blackness of the Clyde.

If you’re in Glasgow to do a spot of business, the rooms also have an ergonomically designed office chair – as well as that iMac mentioned previously, for you to use, but if you prefer to be amongst the people, you’ll also find a fully functional 24-hour business centre.
