At the moment, a “magical” Christmas break in Scotland<\/a> can be booked for almost half price. Holidaymakers can stay in a hotel situated a short walk from some the country’s most famous shopping streets.<\/p>\n

Scotland is renowned as a winter holiday destination, with many journeying to the country for its Christmas<\/a> markets. While Edinburgh’s markets are perhaps the best-known, Glasgow’s are also beloved amongst locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\n

Currently, Wowcher<\/a> is offering a “magical four-star Christmas shopping break” for two at the Crowne Plaza Glasgow. The hotel features a restaurant, an indoor pool, and a gym.<\/p>\n

Glasgow has a near-limitless supply of accommodation options for those uninterested in the Crowne Plaza Glasgow. These include both budget hotels and high-end luxury stays.<\/p>\n

Among the popular hotels in the centre of Glasgow are the Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre<\/a> and Moxy Glasgow Merchant City<\/a>. Elsewhere, the Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel<\/a> is a five-star hotel with a spa, a gym, and a restaurant.<\/p>\n

One guest posted: “Our trip to Glasgow for a mixture of work and holiday was due, and after looking at several options for accommodation, we decided, based on our previous experiences, to go with the Crowne Plaza, Glasgow for our weeks stay. The hotel didn\u2019t let us down.<\/p>\n

“One of the attractions for this hotel is that it\u2019s easy to get to and has excellent car parking facilities. Compared to other hotels we have stayed in, we never have any worries on finding a parking space, regardless of the time of day.”<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a three-star review reads: “It was a clean hotel but I wasn’t impressed with the breakfast. The dinner was delicious though.”<\/p>\n

Another satisfied guest shared: “Check in was brilliant. Room was spacious on the 24th floor with amazing views of the water and the Armadillo and OVO.<\/p>\n

“The health suite was lovely. Pool was warm. Sauna steam room and jacuzzi all fab.”<\/p>\n
