PB hotel design editorial

Glasgow's Blythswood Square was laid out in the early nineteenth century as one of the city's most distinguished residential addresses, its sandstone terraces framing a private garden that remains, in the image above, exactly as composed as its Georgian architects intended. The building at the square's southern range, originally constructed in 1823 and later serving as the headquarters of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club, became Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel following a conversion that preserved the neoclassical facade and its Ionic portico entrance while threading a thoroughly contemporary sensibility through the 100 rooms within. The tension between those two registers is what makes the property work. In the principal dining room, full-height sash windows flood Corinthian columns and ornate plasterwork cornicing with north light, the architecture handled with restraint — deep plum drapery, herringbone parquet, velvet tub chairs in charcoal and grey — rather than overwhelmed by decoration. The bar takes a bolder position: a circular counter clad in teal fish-scale glazed ceramic tile, topped with white marble and framed in brushed brass shelving, sits beneath original moulded ceilings and Lindsey Adelman-style globe chandeliers. Guest rooms in the Georgian wing retain their panelled walls, painted a uniform cool grey and hung with contemporary works, while rooms in the modern extension shift to leather-upholstered headboards, herringbone oak floors, and a cleaner midcentury palette — the two halves of the building held together by a consistent material restraint.

"Keep meaning to review this as we stay every March for a long weekend while we go to country 2 country. We love this place. Staff are amazing, breakfast is great. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We can walk to town, restaurants are nearby. We always feel like friends when we walk in which is a rare thing in a hotel. Love it!"

"This review is for thermal spa experience. This was now the fourth time myself and husband have attended for the thermal experience and this was the biggest let down. When you walk in to reception there is no welcoming spa smell - normally you would be treated with soothing, calming scents but there was nothing. We checked in and were shown down to the lockers which was all fine. We then entered the thermal experience which was quite busy. Some loungers had been left with towels and were never used. Others were taken by the same people for the full two hours - there is 6 possibly 8 loungers. We had forgotten to take out water bottles so luckily there was a water fountain and glasses. The glasses provided were infact glass so you couldn’t take them with you. The glasses also looked like they had seen better days and were very scratched and scraped. Again as with the spa reception the spa itself had no nice scents. I had been in the steam room on previous visits and there had been a menthol smell there was nothing this time. We went in the salt room and were baffled - not sure if we had missed something, or the point but it was just a room on the colder side again with no scents etc. A couple of people when we were in were clearly not there for a calming experience as they were so loud. And there was one member of staff who was keeping the spa area clean who clearly had no interest in being there - no smile, hello etc she We had the afternoon tea in the spa lounge which was lovely. All in all it was not the experience we expected or that you pay for."

"We had a great stay. The staff were so friendly and our room was very well appointed. I especially appreciated the larger US king size bed vs. a UK king, and that the hotel provided wash clothes which in our experience are not commonly provided in Scotland. The location is about a 10 min walk down to all of the hustle of the city center, which was fine by us as our room was super quiet. Breakfast was also great."
