Scene
Boutique hotel with modern design and original Edwardian features
The ABode Glasgow has paid attention to design throughout. Guests -- a mix of airline crews, corporate travelers, and leisure travelers -- are greeted by an impressive hotel lobby that features a large wood-and-glass arched doorway, original decorative tiled walls, and a striking cage elevator (an addition in 1911, by architect Henry Edward Clifford). The hotel is housed in a historically-listed, classic Edwardian townhouse with original features that include a stone staircase and ornate stained-glass windows. The renovated Brasserie, the hotel's on-site restaurant added in August 2017, also blends contemporary and classic elements. This hotel is a solid pick for design-focused travelers who are looking for modern features in a historic setting full of character.
