Some places have dour owners threatening lockouts if you break curfew. Then there's the
Brunswick, which every now and then converts the whole hotel into a party venue, with
DJs in the lifts and art installations in the rooms. You couldn't ask for a more relaxed and
friendly Merchant City base. The rooms are all stylish with a mixture of minimalism and
rich, sexy colours. Compact and standard doubles will do if you're here for a night out,
but king-size rooms are well worth the £10 upgrade. There's an excellent restaurant down-
stairs and occasional nightclub in the basement.

Heavenly Malmaison is the ultimate in seductive urban accommodation. Cutting-edge but
decadent and plush living at its best, this sassy sister of hospitality is superslinky and a
cornerstone of faith in Glaswegian accommodation. Stylish rooms with their moody light-
ing have a dark, brooding tone, opulent furnishings and a designer touch. It's best to book
online, as it's cheaper, and various suite offers can be mighty tempting.

ury, with grey and cerise tweeds providing casual soft-toned style throughout. Grades of
rooms go from standard to penthouse with corresponding increases in comfort; it's hard to
resist the traditional 'classic' ones with windows onto the delightful square, but at week-
ends you'll have a quieter sleep in the new wing at the back. There's an excellent bar and
superb restaurant, as well as a very handsome floorboarded and colonnaded salon space
on the 1st floor that functions as an evening spot for cocktails. Other facilities include
valet parking and a seductive spa complex.
