As Glasgow proudly celebrates its modern day renaissance the ABode Hotel reflects the prevailing trends for artistic regeneration, historical preservation and contemporary design. The ABode is a striking townhouse that dates from 1911 and stands proudly in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant and revitalised city centre. Nearby Buchannan Street is renowned for its boutique shopping, and an eclectic assortment of bars, restaurants and clubs host the city’s famed nightlife.

Today the vibrant city of Glasgow is a tribute to the vision and determination of the people who revived it. The latter years of the 20th Century were harsh on the city, and by the 1990s it was clear that work was needed to revitalise the crumbling industrial leviathan. Having been named European City of Culture in 1990, Glasgow became the UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999; an accolade that accelerated the regeneration and renovation of many of the city’s historical but decaying buildings. The ABode is one such success story. Formerly the office for the Department of Education, the building was extensively renovated, whilst successfully preserving interior tiles, stained glass windows and wood panelling. The hotel now combines traditional architecture and contemporary design, and is hailed as one of Glasgow’s most luxurious and distinctive hotels, with 65 rooms, two celebrated restaurants, a stylish bar and conference facilities.

Glasgow has a diverse range of culture and entertainment to offer; countless museums and art galleries, theatres, opera, and superb music venues that host top live acts, as well as up and coming new music, for which Glasgow is justly proud. Glasgow is also a famous footballing city, and Rangers and Celtic have dominated the Scottish domestic competitions in recent years.
