Fodor's Expert Review Kimpton Blythswood Square

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. Room design is elegant and understated; the Spanish marble bathrooms make a dramatic contrast to the calming grays, whites, and deep reds of the furnishings. A basement spa offers serious pampering with its steam rooms, pools, sauna, and mud chamber. The ground-floor restaurant is modern and spacious while the upstairs bar and lounge serves afternoon tea from noon to 5.
