Hotels in Merchant City, Glasgow
Merchant City is Glasgow's historic commercial heart, built on tobacco fortunes and now home to the city's most concentrated cluster of restaurants, theatres, bars and the Gallery of Modern Art — one of the most visited galleries in Scotland, despite (or partly because of) the famous statue with a traffic cone on its head. The Barras market and the East End are a short walk; Central Station is five minutes. More relaxed than the West End and equally well served for food and nightlife, it suits travellers who want to stay near Glasgow's cultural core. The architecture — Italian-influenced merchant palaces in honey and grey sandstone — is spectacular on almost every corner.
103 hotels within walking distance of Merchant City, in the heart of Glasgow, including 53 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is The Merchants Gem - 2Bed & Free Parking, about 23m from the centre of the neighbourhood. The nearest major venues are Celtic Park (1.6 miles) and OVO Hydro (1.7 miles), as the crow flies.
