Located on the corner of Wellington Street and Bath Street within the city centre, its prominent location and lit-up historic external facade delivers an immediate sense of style and sophistication – almost like a little sister to the nearby Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa if you will.

I enjoyed a solo night in one of the hotel’s Studio Rooms. Designed to cater to both short stays and extended visits, each offers an open-plan living and sleeping area, with a stylish and well-equipped kitchenette – with fridge and microwave, crockery and cutlery – and contemporary touches such as a coffee pod machine, in-room steamer and 43″ Flat screen TV, as well as a dedicated workspace and high-speed Wi-Fi for those who need to work or check emails.

The combination of soundproofed windows, elegant and rich interior, mood lighting and quality bedding allowed me to have a cosy and comfortable sleep, with the luxurious toiletries and powerful shower allowing me to begin the following morning feeling refreshed for the day ahead.

Forgoing use of the gym, I visited the lobby shop and café bar adjacent to the hotel’s pleasant and welcoming reception to take advantage of grab-and-go breakfast offer with a strong coffee and pastry. An impressive selection of high quality ready-meals – think burrito bowls and Mexican steak mince enchiladas – are also available for those keen on hotel room dining, while I’m told an imminent premises licence will allow for a relaxed drinks experience for guests in the evening.

For those wishing to dine out, the hotel’s location is second-to-none. Cross the street and you have the true Glasgow restaurant institution that is Fratelli Sarti and for those on a tighter budget, Bloc, the live music bar and eatery offering adventurous food and affordable daily deals.

The hotel is also a stone’s throw from The Howlin’ Wolf – named Scotland’s Best Live Music Venue according to Scottish Licensed Trade News – and no thrills hidden gem eatery Noodle.

Shoppers will no doubt appreciate the proximity of the hotel to Sauchiehall Street, while those visiting Glasgow for a concert can take advantage of convenient transport links to the OVO Hydro and the SEC or the hotel’s adjacency to The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Casual and convenient, there’s no doubt The Wellington Glasgow by Adina is a fantastic addition to Glasgow’s hotel offer and one which will be enjoyed by both those visiting Glasgow to work and unwind alike.
