Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow

Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow Overview

You know what struck me first about the Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow? It’s got this surprisingly modern vibe that somehow doesn’t feel out of place in the city center. I mean, Glasgow has this incredible mix of Victorian architecture and contemporary design, and this place actually nails that balance really well. The lobby has these sleek lines and warm lighting that makes you feel like you’re somewhere pretty special – not stuffy special, just… well-designed special, if that makes sense.

The location is honestly fantastic if you want to be in the thick of things. You’re literally walking distance from George Square, and I found myself strolling down to the Merchant City area almost every evening because it’s just so close. The shopping on Buchanan Street is maybe a five-minute walk, which was dangerous for my wallet but convenient when I realized I’d forgotten half my toiletries. What I really appreciated though was how quiet the rooms stayed despite being right in the city center – you’d expect more street noise, but the windows must be pretty solid because I slept great.

The rooms themselves feel properly upscale without being intimidating. Mine had this massive bed with crisp white linens that actually stayed put all night (you know how hotel sheets can be), and the bathroom was one of those rainfall shower situations that made me seriously consider how much it would cost to renovate mine at home. The staff really impressed me too – there’s something about Scottish hospitality that just feels genuine, and these folks embodied that perfectly. Check-in was smooth, they knew the area well enough to give me actual useful restaurant recommendations (not just the touristy spots), and when I had an issue with the air conditioning, someone was up to fix it within twenty minutes. The 8.9 rating this place has? Yeah, I can see why – it’s the kind of rating that comes from consistently getting the details right rather than having one flashy feature that wows you then disappoints elsewhere. Honestly, if you’re looking for somewhere that feels both polished and authentically Glasgow, this is a solid choice. Just book early if you’re visiting during festival season – I learned that lesson the hard way on a previous trip.

Hotels near me in Glasgow offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Glasgow Cathedral, Merchant City, and authentic Scottish pubs.

Reviews of Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow

• Piacentini from Turkey (9/10)

  I arrived late at night. Had a bit of difficult paying. The night manager, Cameron, sorted it out and ,my stress was addressed,
  Breakfast? Astounding. I often stay at either Radisson Blu or Central but there is no comparison regarding breakfast. It is Radisson that stands, especially range, variety and service. Well done!
