Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, Glasgow

11 Blythswood Square, Glasgow, G2 4AD, United Kingdom. (show on map)

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.

Luxurious stay

The spa was really luxurious. The bed was like sleeping in cotton wool - so comfortable. Very spacious room and quiet. Breakfast was delicious - we are gluten free but large choice.

Only problem was the restriction on times to the spa. We woke up at 8.45 am but it was too late to go to the spa as it shut at 9.30 to residents staying overnight. 5-8pm at night.

Fantastic facilities in a great location but poor restaurant service

The rooms and facilities overall were over expectations.

The staff at the restaurant forgot multiple orders. This happened during breakfast, lunch and dinner. The SPA should have more available free hours for hotel guests, considering the room prices.

Service is 5 star. Hotel is 4 star.

Service from staff was exceptional. Room was large, well-appointed, quiet and clean.

Spa area was pleasant but not spectacular. Required upgrading in numerous places. Restricted access felt very rushed and not conducive to relaxation. Please ban phones - so many people just standing around taking images for their social media.

Really enjoyable stay.

Lovely period Property with fabulous Bar and Restaurant

Spa was extremely crowded. Room service was not done because we were not told that you had to put a notice on the door to get room service done. All food and breakfast was nice except for the porridge which was watery and not very pleasant. But the service of the staff was fantastic.

Amazing hotel. Spa is too busy

Everything, we love the blythswood and everything it has to offer. Staff are friendly, breakfast is lovely, the air con is so fresh and crisp, the hotel is always clean and immaculate. Attention to detail such as complimentary spa access and snacks. we always enjoy our stays

It was a real shame about the spa facilities as it’s usually our favourite part. The spa was so over crowded and not relaxing atall unfortunately :( we walked in and walked back out 10 minutes later as it was so overwhelmingly busy. It’s a real pity as this is usually the highlight of our stays

I’ve stayed 5 times now and breakfast time is always a bit of a let down. You book a time but no tables available at that time and and service isn’t the best and it’s been the same every stay for breakfast

I recently enjoyed a fantastic stay at this hotel and felt compelled to share my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with complimentary drinks, which set a delightful tone for my stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. One of the standout features of my visit was how the staff respected my privacy; they were attentive when needed but never intrusive, allowing me to relax and enjoy my retreat. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive — everything from the common areas to my room was spotless, which always enhances the overall experience. I was particularly pleased with the efficiency of the room service; it was quick and the food arrived hot and delicious. Speaking of food, the dining options were lovely, with a variety of dishes to choose from, each carefully prepared and beautifully presented. I also took advantage of the spa during my stay, and it was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere was serene, and the treatments were rejuvenating, making it a perfect way to unwind after a long day. One unique feature that I absolutely loved was the snow room. With just a touch of a button, snow gently falls down, creating a magical and refreshing experience that every guest must try! It added a whimsical touch to my spa visit and was a highlight of my stay. Additionally, there were various extra items and services available, ensuring that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent service and amenities. I look forward to returning in the future!

I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback regarding my delightful stay at this hotel. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I truly appreciated the luxurious environment and excellent service provided by the staff. However, I did notice that the morning spa hours for residents are currently limited to 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM. While I completely understand that this may be due to public opening times aimed at maximizing revenue for the hotel, I believe extending these hours could greatly enhance the experience for guests looking to start their day with some relaxation. Having a longer span for morning spa visits would allow residents to truly savor the tranquil atmosphere before the day picks up. Many of us cherish these moments of peace, and a slight extension could make a significant difference in our overall enjoyment. That said, I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the hotel was overall. It truly stands out as one of the best I have ever experienced. While it is on the pricier side, it’s worth every penny. As the old saying goes, you really do get what you pay for — and this hotel embodies that sentiment perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, and I look forward to my next visit!

Great Hotel and Spa

That was by far the best hotel I ever stayed. We arrived super early at Glasgow, but one of the receptionist arranged a room for us, which was super early comparing to the check in time, but he was so kind to check that for us, which never happened before in 10 years as a traveller. The bedroom was so comfortable and clean, the bath in the bedroom was lovely and I can’t even describe how lovely was the spa facilities! 10/10

No complaints, everything was perfect!
