A railway landmark
The hotel has been part of Glasgow life since 1883, built alongside Central Station. Its Grand Staircase and 'Wall of Fame' of past guests are reminders of its long run as one of the city's best-known addresses, and the Grand Ballroom still hosts events. For many Glaswegians it is still simply the Grand Central Hotel.
Champagne Central
The hotel's best-known room is Champagne Central, a bar that looks over the Central Station concourse. It serves cocktails, small plates, sharing boards, brunch and afternoon tea, and is a good place to meet before a train even if you are not staying. Afternoon tea here makes a good occasion for visitors arriving or leaving by train.
Staying here
Rooms range from compact Cosy Rooms to suites. There is a fitness centre but no pool. Dogs are welcome without a fee and can join you in the bar area, though not the restaurant. Parking is available for a daily charge. Buchanan Street and the Lighthouse are a few minutes' walk. Being joined to the station is a real advantage if you are arriving with luggage, catching an early train or using Glasgow as a base for day trips by rail.
