Hotel Review

This is the most northerly outpost of The ABode group, owned and managed by hotelier Andrew Brownsword. The original Edwardian townhouse has been tastefully converted to reveal an interesting mix of period charm and contemporary design; the restored antique gated lift is a particular highlight. Bedrooms follow a hierarchy from Comfortable through to Fabulous and bear classic ABode trademarks: huge beds covered with soft pillows, cashmere throws, bespoke toiletries and impish tuck baskets brimming with goodies. Brasserie Abode is open from 7am till late and offers a good all day menu and excellent range of cocktails.

ABode, Glasgow

Scots baronial with contemporary renovations and artistic flourishes. An impressive central staircase of polished granite with a water wall beneath an atrium, a splendid gilded cage lift, and walls emblazoned with golden Scottish lions. Braveheart would love it.
