Fodor's Expert Review Carlton George

44 W. George St., Glasgow, Glasgow City, G2 1DH, Scotland

A narrow revolving doorway, a step back from busy West George Street, creates the illusion of a secret passageway leading into this lavish boutique hotel. Guest rooms are tastefully decorated and quite spacious, with some done up in slightly racier tartan tones. The comfortable lounge offers complimentary drinks to guests in the more expensive executive rooms. Crystal decanters of gin, sherry, and whisky are in every room, as well as minibars and bathrobes. Windows, the top-floor restaurant, has a sweeping view of Glasgow's rooftops. The location couldn't be better: minutes away from Buchanan Street and George Square.

PROS

  • near City Centre attractions and beside Queen Street station
  • nice resturant with stunning views
  • great value

CONS

  • entrance very small and often crowded
