Radisson RED Glasgow

The hotel

Radisson RED is the group's younger, more playful brand, and the Glasgow hotel was its first new-build in Europe. There are 174 rooms, including 16 suites. The rooftop bar is the standout, with views across the Clyde, and it is worth a visit even if you are staying elsewhere. The look is modern and urban, with a lively feel aimed at younger travellers and event-goers.

For events

Being directly across from the SEC campus means you can walk to a gig or a conference and be back in your room minutes after it ends, avoiding the post-show taxi queues. Book early for big concert dates, when every hotel on the campus fills up. The hotel is part of a cluster that brought the number of rooms on the SEC campus to over a thousand, so the area is well geared to big events.

Around Finnieston

Argyle Street in Finnieston, a few minutes' walk north, is one of Glasgow's busiest food and drink streets. The Clyde walkway runs past the door, with the Riverside Museum and the Glasgow Science Centre reachable on foot or by a short ride. It is also an easy walk along the river into the city centre on a dry day.
