Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens
Glasgow, Scotland
9Telegraph expert rating
This began life with two townhouses as One Devonshire Gardens, and expanded to five after being acquired by the Hotel du Vin chain in 2006. The result is an inviting warren of corridors and wooden staircases with superb stained glass windows leading to opulent rooms and suites. Facilities include a small gym and spa treatment room. A favourite hideaway of the likes of George Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robbie Williams. Read expert review From £99per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com

Blythswood Square
Glasgow, Scotland
7Telegraph expert rating
When Blythswood Square was constructed in the Georgian era, it was meant to be the new centre of town. That never came to pass, but it is close to the shops in Buchanan Street, and only a short walk from all the major sights. The square is quiet, with a recently created garden in the centre and attractive old style railings around the perimeter.

15 Glasgow
Glasgow, Scotland
8Telegraph expert rating
All the rooms here are spacious and kitted out to a very high standard, as are the bathrooms. The best of them are calm, soothing havens, and the Drawing Room, on the first floor, spreads across the width of the house. It’s in the Park area of the city, a five-minute walk from the centre, and also close to Kelvingrove Park and Art Gallery, and the Botanic Gardens. Read expert review From £99per night

The Grand Central Hotel
Glasgow, Scotland

The Grand Central is a fusion of Queen Anne grandeur and contemporary style, evocative of a more romantic age of rail travel. The Champagne Bar has Italian marble floors and bow-fronted windows overlooking the station concourse, and the world’s second biggest chandelier (the biggest is claimed to be in Bulgaria) hangs for six floors above a central staircase.

Just off an elegant Georgian square in the central business district, a few steps from the shopping and nightlife of Sauchiehall Street.

citizenM Glasgow
Glasgow, Scotland

A quirky mix of futuristic German design and Star Trek that is gaining popularity and awards.
