Blythswood Square Review
History and luxury come together at this smart conversion of the former headquarters of the Royal Automobile Club of Scotland, which occupies a classical building on peaceful Blythswood Square. The entrance is impressive, with marble floors and huge chandeliers; the red velvet alcoves and fringed lamp shades are witty references to the square's slightly risqué past. The design of the rooms is elegantly contemporary; the Spanish marble bathrooms make a dramatic contrast to the calming grays, whites, and deep reds of the Harris tweed furnishings. The basement spa offers serious pampering with its steam rooms, pools, sauna, and mud chamber. The restaurant is modern and spacious.
