Blythswood Square

Posted on 20. Nov, 2010 by Tim Duncan in City Hotels, Featured

The Blythswood Square Hotel is the newest and the most splendid addition to the Town House Collection hotels in Scotland. The Town House Collection hotels include boutique hotels like The Howard, The Edinburgh Residence, The Bonham and Channings. Blythswood Square Hotel is a fine example of remodeling of a beautiful period building into a stylish and unique 5 star boutique hotel. The building was originally built in 1823 and was previously the home of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club. This luxury five star hotel and spa has retained some of the original architectural features like the lofty decorated ceilings, marble fireplaces, and wood paneling.

The Blythswood Square has 100 rooms including a penthouse with its own private area and a lift, perfect for special occasions. The spa in the hotel is Glasgow’s first luxury spa with a very calm atmosphere, focusing mainly on wellness. The restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food and exciting cocktails made from locally available fresh and seasonal ingredients. Enjoy a drink or two in the Rally Bar, named after the Monte Carlo Rally, which started from the Blythswood Square in 1955. The 35 meter Salon features two original fireplaces, columns and cornicing with a splendid view over the Blythswood Square, which is one of the last remaining green area in Glasgow.

The private screening room can accommodate up to 40 people, which makes it an ideal venue for social and corporate entertainment. The facilities provided by the hotel include non smoking rooms, 24 hours reception, air conditioning, special rooms and facilities for the disabled guests, non smoking public and private areas, safety deposit box, elevator and restaurant and bars. The services provided include meeting and banquet facilities, fax, photocopying, room service, laundry and breakfast in the room.
