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.”

New York Times review:

“Kimpton Blythswood Square offers five-star luxury, with amenities that include a spa, in an excellent but secluded central location, occupying one flank of an elegant residential square.”

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.

Room was lovely and so was breakfast. Staff were really good and went out of their way to help.

The view from the room wasn’t great. Not an issue for us but worth noting.

Perfect Christmas treat

Beautiful and immaculate presentation, stunning festive decorations. Spa is peaceful. All staff were friendly and attentive. Room felt like a retreat and extension of the spa, room service excellent. Festive gifts were delightful. Social hour with complimentary drinks was a lovely idea.

The restaurant was a little lacking in atmosphere on Christmas Eve, some live music would have been a welcome addition.

SANTA'S LITTLE HELPERS

Very beautiful building and location with private gardens opposite. Very grand entrance beautifully decorated for Christmas. Comfortable room with walk in shower and bath. Staff are very welcoming and very professional and attentive. A big thank to Lori concierge whose an absolute gentleman and very professional. A big thanks to David concierge also. Emilia on reception was lovely and very welcoming. I had a lovely Christmas with my 2 precious little dogs and we can't wait to go back. A million thanks guys for making our stay special!!!

Only thing I didn't like because I requested a ground floor room with a view. Room was lovely and very close to reception which was good because I have a walking stick and my 2 dogs with me... Only thing I didn't like was the generator outside my window...because it was at the back..so no view But all in all it was a lovely stay.

Beautiful luxurious stay, a friendly hard working team at reception, restaurant spa and room service

Hotel is stunning, beautifully decorated for Christmas time. Spa was very relaxing, plenty different rooms to experience and loungers to relax on. The bar has a lovely atmosphere and coffee & cocktails were enjoyable. Complimentary mulled wine served in the upstair salon was a lovely touch

Superb hotel with everyone so helpful, we will be back. The full Scottish breakfast was excellent.

The room was excellent, breakfast was superb but the staff is what makes the hotel. We used the spa for a treatment, once more staff and experience was brilliant.

The food was a let down for me, we ate in the hotel on two nights, could not fault the staff but the menu is very limited and in my view very expensive.

This was an over night stay, we would like to return for a longer stay.

Beautiful building and very lovely staff. Great restaurant and comfortable room and bed. All recently updated I think.

Lovely room but a very small window which made it feel like a basement. Heat/AC difficult to control, but window could be opened.

Beautiful hotel. Loved the spa! Bedroom and bathroom were spacious. Staff were very helpful.

Window onto the vents on the roof, so not a good view but it was only a one night stay so it didn’t matter too much.

Breakfast in bed, expectations were met which was unreal. Bed was so comfy I didn’t want to get up. Late check out as well which is so much better. Staff are lovely and if you are on IHG rewards you also get a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival. When we arrived there was also complimentary wine between 4-5pm.

the spa times being longer :(

There isn’t another hotel I’d rather stay at in Glasgow

Breakfast was excellent, and I didn’t want to leave my bed it was so comfortable

Probably not a practical ask, but a small cold plunge pool is always an amazing complement to back-to-back sauna sessions.

Fabulous

Staff in the reception area (incl concierge, door staff etc) were very welcoming and helpful. Our booking got deleted somehow but Emilia was able to sort it out quickly. In general the staff were very attentive and all requests were responded to promptly. The amenities in the room good, room size was huge (we got upgraded). Spa was a bit small but in general the facilities provided were of good quality. Location and gardens were also a plus.

Only exception to the great attention from staff were the staff in the restaurant. Every day at breakfast we were struggling to catch their attention and in general were made to feel unwelcome. Second night the floor was vibrating all night and some of the people in the room were unable to sleep.

Fabulous. We would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to our next visit.

We were very warmly greeted on arrival. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The Spa was truly amazing with different steam jacuzzi and snow rooms as well as the full length pool and overhead water jets.

We loved it all. We were even recommended a very local restaurant which in itself was excellent.
