Dakota Glasgow

Luxury Comfort Meets Concert Convenience in Central Glasgow

Modern, sophisticated, and perfectly located in the heart of Glasgow, Dakota Glasgow is a boutique-style hotel that blends bold design with high-end amenities. Just a short drive from major music venues like the Hydro and SEC Centre, this chic retreat offers a serene escape after a high-energy night out. Think plush rooms, monsoon showers, and a stylish bar scene that makes winding down as fun as the show itself.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its central location, Dakota Glasgow is only a five-minute drive to major venues like the Hydro and Hampden Park, making it an ideal choice for catching a show without the stress. While it's close to the action, its tucked-away setting offers a peaceful night's sleep, so you can recharge in comfort. The 3:00 pm check-in gives you time to settle in before doors open, and the 11:00 am check-out lets you sleep in a little post-show. Plus, Glasgow’s late-night taxis and nearby public transport options mean you’re never stranded.
