The Social Hub Glasgow

More than a hotel

The building combines a hotel, student rooms and coworking under one roof, with almost 500 bedrooms in total. Expect a busy, sociable ground floor where guests, students and remote workers share the bar, restaurant and work areas, rather than a quiet traditional lobby. If you like hotels with a buzz and plenty of people around, it will suit you; if you want peace and quiet, a smaller hotel may be a better fit.

Facilities

Alongside the bar and restaurant there is a fitness centre, conference rooms and coworking desks that hotel guests can use. It is a practical choice for a working trip or a longer stay where you want space beyond your room. Remote workers can keep a normal working day and still be steps from Glasgow's bars in the evening.

Merchant City base

Candleriggs is in the heart of the Merchant City, Glasgow's area of restaurants, bars and restored warehouses, a few minutes' walk from George Square and the shops on Buchanan Street. Nearby you will find Six by Nico for a tasting menu, The Spiritualist for cocktails and the Wilson Street Pantry for brunch. Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis are a longer walk east, or a short taxi ride.
