Attention, all hotel aficionados! Buckle up, because we’re about to take you on a virtual tour of the latest entrant into the European hospitality industry. Virgin Hotels have now planted their flag in Glasgow, Scotland, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. 

This is only the second Virgin Hotel in Europe, with the first one making waves in the iconic city of Edinburgh. But that’s not all. Virgin Hotels have also been making their mark on American soil, with stunning properties scattered across various cities. Whether you’re exploring the vibrant streets of Chicago or basking in the sun-soaked charm of Las Vegas, a Virgin Hotel is never too far away. 

The Design

Now, let’s take a closer look at what the Virgin Hotel in Glasgow has to offer. There’s nods to the city of Glasgow’s past as shipbuilding powerhouse and a flag of colour from some of the cities street art stars.

The moment you step inside, you’re embraced by the unique design features of the ‘chambers’, as they like to call their rooms. The hotel manages to strike a harmonious balance between modern aesthetics and local culture, with each chamber reflecting a refined blend of style, comfort and functionality. 

Each chamber is split into two distinct zones. The ‘Dressing Room’ combines a vanity, makeup desk, an extra-large shower with a bench, and a closet for two. The ‘Lounge’ includes a patented ergonomically designed lounge bed, a red SMEG mini-fridge, High Definition TV, yoga mat, and a round table perfect for working or dining. This thoughtful design ensures that whether you’re in Glasgow for business or pleasure, you’re poised for an exceptional stay.
