One Devonshire Gardens Hotel

Glasglow, Scotland

https://www.hotelduvin.com/Escape to an opulent country house without leaving town, in Glasgow’s historic West End. The boutique One Devonshire Gardens embodies the city’s blend of old and new on a tree-lined Victorian terrace.

Here, 49 rooms and suites are peppered with original bay windows, grand chandeliers, fireplaces and free-standing roll-top bathtubs. High ceilings and traditional deep tones are complemented by sophisticated modern decor, and guests will find respite on plush sofas – perhaps in the Belle Epoque suite, which
overlooks the secret garden.

On the food front, Michelin-trained chef Gary Townsend heads up the oak-panelled and leather-clad bistro with creative, locally-driven dishes
paired impeccably with wines from around the world – as you’d expect at a Hotel du Vin property. Come morning, grilled kipper with lemon and parsley butter or a full Scottish will set you right up for exploring bohemian alleyways, the Botanic Gardens and the gothic grounds of Glasgow University.

Doubles from £109. 0141 378 0385, hotelduvin.com
