City Centre
The city centre is home to some of the very best places to stay in Glasgow if the five-star experience is what you're looking for. Close to just about everything the city has to offer, including public transport for when you need to go further afield, the city centre is ideal for when you want to base yourself in one spot while remaining central to all the best activities.
West End
As the city's major art and culture hub, many hotels in this area are influenced by the bohemian lifestyle the West End promotes. Every hotel is unique, and many are owned and operated by locals, rather than a chain or franchise. This has led to wonderfully eclectic designs and the repurposing of some of the city's oldest and most beloved buildings.
Finnieston
A former district of warehouses and docks, Finnieston is one of the best areas to stay in Glasgow these days. A booming entertainment quarter, it's where the expansive Scottish Event Campus is located, making it the city's home of live concerts. Hotels here are plentiful, very comfortable, and not typically expensive.
Cathedral Street
Staying on Cathedral Street is a great way to get stuck right into every historic religious site. Hotels in this area run the gamut from simple motels to four-star bed and breakfasts, all of which are quite comfortable and reasonably priced. Staying on Cathedral Street will put you on the doorstep of the famed East End and all it has to offer.
Trongate and East End
Trongate is one of the oldest streets in Glasgow and is considered the main thoroughfare into the city's East End. Located in what is now Merchant City, the area has seen a major revitalisation since the 1990s and boasts some of the fanciest hotels anywhere in the city. For those who want five-star accommodation, Trongate is where you want to be.
