Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, Glasgow

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“The rooms are often spacious with luxurious black granite bathrooms, unusually comfortable beds and a sleek streamlined look (think: lots of grays, creams and Midcentury Modern lines). The basement spa is one of the best in the U.K.”

Fodors review:

“History and luxury come together at this smart conversion of the former headquarters of the Royal Automobile Club of Scotland, which occupies a classical building on peaceful Blythswood Square. The entrance is impressive, with marble floors and huge chandeliers.”

Lonely Planet review:

“In a gorgeous Georgian terrace, this elegant five-star offers inner-city luxury, with grey and cerise providing casual soft-toned style throughout. Rooms go from standard to penthouse with corresponding increases in comfort; it’s hard to resist the traditional ‘classic’ rooms with windows onto the delightful square, but at weekends you’ll have a quieter sleep in the new wing at the back.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Blythswood Square in Glasgow is an address that exudes elegance, being a lush green oasis slightly west of the city center and imbued with Georgian allure.

Equally captivating is the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, a luxury boutique establishment with a hundred rooms, nestled behind one of the square’s four identical heritage-listed facades. Undeniably, this hotel presents an exceptional choice for an address in Glasgow. Every city, we believe, ought to have a quintessential blend of traditional and modern luxury boutique hotels, and this might just be Glasgow’s prime example.

The refurbishment surely must have been an exceptional task, considering the meticulous efforts made to retain the building’s original Georgian personality while integrating modern enhancements and current décor (including distinct Scottish elements like the generous use of Harris tweed in upholstery).

The juxtapositions are skillfully managed, never incongruous, with the vibrant tones of the contemporary furnishings beautifully complemented by the grandeur of the architectural surroundings.

location was perfect for us!

our room was like a cave! no real window just the strange outdoor “balcony” with no view except of the sky.

Relaxing, fun and comfy hotel in the city.

Super comfortable rooms, nice staff, good breakfast and great spa! I ended up going back the following week to stay again, I liked it so much.

I loved the spa but found it a little annoying that there are timing restrictions for hotel guests (7:30-9:30 am, and 5-8pm only to use the spa, no access to lockers, bring robes from your room etc) but I understand they probably need to recoup cost of the remodel with outside guests spa treatments etc - just feels like it could be slightly more user friendly for the hotel guests.

The spa was a particular highlight

The rooms air condition was faulty. Tried to reconfigure the settings to cooling mode and it wouldn't work. The room was so warm. I had fellow residents knocking on the door as they thought they were at the sauna.

Clean, good food, great spa, but a bit dark and hard to navigate.

Clean and pretty. The spa access in the mornings and evenings for guests of the hotel was definitely the highlight. The food we got from the restaurant was great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would choose it again.

The room was a bit dark and the light switches a bit confusing. The hotel has a bit of a weird layout and requires some amount of climbing and descending steps to get anywhere even within the hotel itself. It’s walking distance of the city centre, but a bit of a slog uphill to get back to the hotel from there.

The spa was lush, incredibly relaxing. Unfortunately only limited hours for hotel guests. The facilities were beautiful. The room was very clean, very spacious and very light. Would recommend!

Our coffee machine was broken but they provided instant coffee sachets so not a problem.

Friendly staff and great location.

Friendliest staff you could ask for, they really tried to make the stay perfect. Location was perfect and a short walk from the center. Great onsite restaurant.

Called ahead and promised a roll away bed which wasn’t in the room, had to ask a few more times before we got a solution. Friendly enough, but was slightly disappointed. Otherwise amazing hotel.

Beautiful building, with large, well maintained rooms. There were many lifts and well signposted egress routes. The staff were outstanding. Absolutely superb, nothing was too much trouble.

The only minor thing was the lack of spa availability during the day.
