Hotel du Vin Glasgow at One Devonshire Gardens

About Hotel du Vin Glasgow at One Devonshire Gardens

One Devonshire Gardens made its name in the 1980s as the city's first genuinely luxurious small hotel, and the address still carries weight. It occupies five adjoining blonde sandstone townhouses on a residential terrace off Great Western Road, roughly two miles from the centre and a few minutes from the Botanic Gardens.

Inside, the layout is deliberately domestic: panelled drawing rooms, open fires in winter, and staircases rather than long corridors. Bedrooms vary considerably between the houses, with the larger suites running to freestanding baths and separate sitting areas. Anyone with mobility concerns should ask about lift access, which does not reach every part of the building.

The restaurant and the wine cellar are central to the experience, with tasting dinners and a list that goes well beyond the group standard. Byres Road, Ashton Lane and the Kelvingrove galleries are all within a fifteen-minute walk, and Hillhead Subway station connects to the centre in under ten minutes. It suits couples and anyone wanting a quieter base than the grid provides.
