ne of Glasgow’s oldest buildings, originally home to
the City’s tobacco lords, sits in a quiet backwater within
The Merchant City, only a few minutes walk from
George Square, the City Chambers, Queen Street and
Central Stations.
Having lain empty and unused for many years this rejuvenated
building now offers 33 individually styled bedrooms with
private bathroom, direct dial telephone, colour television, and
of course complimentary tea and coffee. Our rates include Full
Scottish Breakfast, leaving you to choose from the surrounding
restaurants and bars for your other meals.
Notable features of the building include the cobble courtyard and
the Old Stone Turnpike Stair, one of the last in Glasgow still in
use, through which guests pass on the way to their rooms.
Whatever your reason for visiting Glasgow, be it on business,
shopping, taking in a show, concert or exploring the City’s
rich architectural heritage, we know you will enjoy your stay at
The Merchant Lodge.
