Holiday Inn Glasgow City Centre Theatreland sits in the district that gives it its name, the part of the city centre around West Nile Street and Renfrew Street where the Theatre Royal, the Royal Concert Hall and the Pavilion Theatre are within a short walk. It is a dependable, well-known hotel that suits families, theatre-goers and business visitors, with the straightforward comfort and service of the IHG family. If you are heading to a show or a concert, or taking one of the early Highland coach tours from Buchanan Bus Station, the location is hard to beat.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on West Nile Street, close to Buchanan Street's shops, Queen Street Station for trains to Edinburgh and the north, and Buchanan Bus Station, where the Highland day tours depart. The Subway at Buchanan Street is within a short walk. GoMA, Mackintosh at the Willow and the Merchant City are all within a ten to fifteen minute walk, which makes this a very practical base for first-timers.
Rooms and who it suits
Holiday Inn rooms are functional and comfortable, with family-friendly options, and the brand's familiarity suits travellers who prefer no surprises. It is a good fit for families, groups and those on a moderate budget who want a central address. Theatre district streets can be lively on show nights, so light sleepers should ask for a quieter room. Check the rate page for current amenities, breakfast and parking, as these can change.
Good to know
Glasgow's 5 percent visitor levy applies to many overnight stays. If you are catching an early Highland tour, the proximity to Buchanan Bus Station is a real advantage, since coaches leave early and will not wait for latecomers. For design and style, Motel One and citizenM are nearby alternatives, and for luxury, the Kimpton on Blythswood Square. The Holiday Inn is a solid, central family choice.
