Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens(Glasgow, UK)

The interiors are magnificent, with high ceilings, oak panelling, grand staircases and stained-glass windows. The bedrooms, some with four-posters, are spectacularly designed and furnished with widescreen televisions, CD systems, and DVD players. The bathrooms are very well appointed, with deep baths and a very generous supply of luxury toiletries. A recent refurbishment has brought even more sumptuous accommodation and a modern Hotel du Vin French-style bistro.

The Bistro is an intimate and atmospheric dining room. If you have a passion for wine you can simply visit the cellar, with its 600 bins, in the company of your own sommelier. The Bar and Whisky Snug are both cosy and inviting, filled with comfy leather sofas and armchairs where you can enjoy one of the unbelievable range of over three hundred whiskies, a glass of wine, or afternoon tea.

The hotel also has its own private walled garden, and a residents' only gym. The overall attention to the smallest detail is impressive, as is the attentiveness and professionalism of the entire staff. All in all, a five star experience in every way.
