Hotel Indigo Glasgow is a neighbourhood-style boutique hotel, part of the IHG family, on Waterloo Street in the city's financial and business district. The Indigo brand is known for design that borrows from the local area rather than following a single template, so expect decor that nods to Glasgow's history, art and character, along with the comfortable beds and reliable service of a major chain. It is a good choice for couples, business travellers and visitors who want something with a bit more personality than a standard chain hotel, but without the price of a luxury spa property.
Location and getting around
Waterloo Street runs through the western half of the city centre, a short walk from Central Station, Glasgow's main rail terminus, and from Buchanan Street's shops. The Blythswood district, the Merchant City and the Clyde waterfront are all within a short walk or taxi ride. The Subway at St Enoch and the hop-on hop-off bus link the area to the West End and the Riverside Museum, so the main sights are easy to reach without a car.
Rooms and who it suits
Rooms are designed with local touches and are comfortable and well equipped, with the usual range of room types. The hotel suits couples on a city break, business guests and solo travellers, and its on-site restaurant and bar make for easy evenings. Weekday business crowds can make the area quieter at weekends. Check the rate page for current amenities, including breakfast, fitness facilities and parking, since these can change.
Good to know
Glasgow's 5 percent visitor levy applies to many overnight stays and appears on your bill. City-centre parking is limited, so use public transport where possible. If you want something more luxurious, the Kimpton and the voco Grand Central are nearby, and for a lower price, Motel One and citizenM are the design-led budget options. Hotel Indigo is the middle choice, with personality and a central address.
