Recently refurbished in the in the McMillan style, the Merchant Lodge is simple but elegant. The polished pine floors and furniture reflect a hotel full of culture and life in the heart of this thriving city.
The Hotel boasts 40 individually-styled bedrooms, all with en-suite bathroom/shower room, direct dial telephone, colour television and complimentary tea/coffee making facilities. A full Scottish breakfast is included in the price.
Accommodation
The Merchant Lodge is housed in one of Glasgow’s oldest buildings and boasts a beautiful spiral stone staircase which runs up the centre of the guest house. It was originally home to the great tobacco lords of the city and has been tastefully restored. Facilities are modern and all rooms have en suite bathrooms.
Although located in the very heart of the trendy Merchant City, the surrounding area is relatively quiet. This accommodation is perfectly located for all city centre amenities and a traditional Scottish breakfast is served to set guests up for a day of exploring.
Some of the building’s more remarkable features include the cobbled courtyard and the old stone turnpike stair, which is one of the last still in use in the city.
Location
The Merchant Lodge is situated in the heart of the vibrant Merchant City district of Glasgow and is only 2 minutes walk from George Square. It is also within walking distance of The St.
Enoch Shopping Centre and The Buchanan Galleries, both home to an exciting mix of high street shops and designer labels. Sightseeing tours leave from nearby George’s square every day and within walking distance of Glasgow central Station, the Merchant Lodge is the ideal base from which to explore Glasgow.
Dining & Entertainment
Given Glasgow’s success at blending culture and tradition, it should come as no surprise that the city offers a diverse choice of eateries that extend far beyond the city center. Indeed, in districts such as Byres Road, Shawlands, Giffnock and Merchant City, Glaswegians are spoiled with quality cuisine at prices that would satisfy even the most parsimonious of Scots.
