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.”

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.

An excellent hotel. Exceptional staff and exceptional food.

Staff so professional and attentive and plenty of them. Really really good. The food was exceptional and so enjoyable. The atmosphere and ambiance were lovely.. Would love to return. So central too…Thank-you

Would like to have been able to open a window in our room and would like to have had a magnifying mirror in the bathroom.

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 :(

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.

Breakfast was a bit of a let down. Poached eggs were overdone and bacon was burned. However, sausages were perfectly cooked.

A very nice upscale hotel in a row of historic Georgian Townhouses on a beautiful square.

A beautiful hotel in a great location right on Blythswood Square. Warm and friendly staff who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. A modern and well appointed restaurant offered a wide range of breakfast options. The wine and nibbles in the late afternoon were quite nice.

We had a great couple of nights and would highly recommend it to anyone who wanted a relaxing stay i

Enjoyed breakfast when we had it plenty choice Reception staff and the two gentlemen who were so helpful every tonne we wanted to go anywhere, they looked after us fantastically well!

Our room was really lovely and the upgrade and little goodies to celebrate my husbands 80th were delightful and unexpected. If I have to make one minor criticism it is only that the bathroom was a little impractical, too much marble slippery floor and not enough places to hold onto Bath etc or to put things…

Good, but you'd expect it to be at the price

Very nice conversion of a grand old building. Comfortable, modern and tasteful. Good food.

Some of the restaurant staff were not as professional or enthusiastic as you might reasonably expect at this price range.

Luxurious and pampering stay in beautiful Glasgow.

Beautiful building and well-appointed rooms. Amazing city-centre spa, and accommodating, helpful staff.

There was a very loud fan noise near / inside the room that droned on all night. Turning off the aircon made no difference. It might have been connected to the spa?

An exceptional luxury stay made unforgettable by the stunning penthouse upgrade.

We were generously upgraded to the penthouse, and it was beyond incredible. The space was pure luxury, featuring a private outdoor terrace, a jacuzzi, a huge and beautifully designed living area, and even a fully equipped kitchenette. Every corner felt thoughtfully curated, from the elegant décor to the spacious layout. It truly made our stay unforgettable.

Nothing at all, everything exceeded expectations.

The size of the room

The fact that the twins beds were together and you couldn't separate them. The room was big enough to have them separate.
