Native Glasgow
(4 stars)Glasgow’s maritime history – past and present – is pretty legendary and visible around the city. This is especially the case at Native Places, once HQ for the Anchor Line Shipping Company. Stepping inside feels much like boarding an art deco era cruise liner. Look out for the original safes, terrazzo flooring, timber wood panelling and fireplaces dating back to the 1900s. 24-hour reception, onsite breakfast and weekly housekeeping provide the benefits of a hotel, but you’ll also have access to washing and cooking facilities in your suite. And if you don’t fancy cooking your own dinner, the gorgeous Anchor Line Bar and Restaurant is on the ground floor.
