    The only thing I've got to my advantage is that as East Coast don't go to Glasgow any more she will start and end up at Queen Street station.

    Any ideas of other decent hotels will be happily accepted.
    Not sure of the rates but the Blythswood Square is new and is pretty swanky. 5 miutes walk from central and fits in with the quality hotel thing women go for.

      Looks awfully nice but as I'm not going I'm not paying that rate.

        Well if you are booking and not going I would advise the Bellgrove hotel, with the cost savings minus the 9mm she will have to buy for her safety (easily purchased in the local taverns) you can buy a Xmas present that you want.

          I'll end up paying for the Grand Station by the looks of it. Although she's only getting it if I get a free Sky subscription from the friend she goes with tho.

          If its the half price offer I got last year its going to be the Bellgrove.

            It is a pretty decent hotel now, the stair case freaks the lfe out of me with my vertigo though. Was in one of the private dining rooms this year and it is way above what it was before.

            Had the biggest facade of any hotel for along time, Sinatra, Kelly & Bing Crosbie stayed there but Walt Disney

              I stayed there last October for our anniversary - it is really really nice - I would recommend it and my favourite Glasgow restaurant (Chardon d'or) is within staggering distance.

                I know I am tough on Glasgow and it has its faults but to stay in the Blythswood and have the Chardon d'or 1 minute away outclasses each and every other UK city outside London.

                Manchester? Birmingham? Liverpool? Newcastle? Cardiff? Please. Dumps
