Lonely Planet review

A cut above other chain hotels of this ilk, Glasgow's version of the Marriott is a very fine one with excellent facilities for business travellers, or those who really want a decent bit of pampering (and like having doors opened for them at every turn).

Inside, there's not much difference between the standard and executive rooms - executive are slightly larger and that's about it. However, an executive room does get you access to the executive lounge which means you can let yourself be plied with free drinks in the evening. For those with business on their minds, a private area for breakfast is handy for early meetings. Whichever room you get, try to reserve an odd number as these face the front, overlook the Clyde River and have city views. Suites are the size of two standard rooms and for couples, the king-size beds are huge and plush. If you've got the kids with you, get an interconnecting room so you can have your privacy and keep an eye on them at the same time. This hotel is also recommended for smokers, with three floors reserved for their addiction.
