Why Concert-goers love it

Set just minutes from several of Glasgow’s biggest venues, Hilton Glasgow is a favourite for music fans who want to be close to the action without sacrificing comfort. The hotel’s central location means you can walk to many shows or hop on nearby transport links with ease.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Whiskey Mist Restaurant & Bar serves up everything from light bites to full dinners, and there’s 24-hour room service for those late-night cravings. It’s also home to the UK’s first Dilmah Tea Lounge—perfect for a chill brunch after a big night. A wide range of restaurants and bars are just a few minutes’ walk away, making it easy to grab a late meal or pre-show drink.

Nightlife Options

While Hilton Glasgow doesn’t offer live music in-house, its location puts you within walking distance of pubs, clubs, and lounges that do. The stylish hotel bar offers a solid selection of local whiskies and craft cocktails, ideal for a relaxed nightcap. Whether you’re in the mood for something lively or low-key, the surrounding area caters to every vibe.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the friendly staff, spotless rooms, and the hotel’s unbeatable location. Travellers love how easy it is to get to shows and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere afterwards. The spa and gym facilities are also a big hit, especially for those staying a bit longer.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the pool and spa access isn’t included in the room rate and needs to be booked in advance—a small extra cost that might surprise some. Also, check-in starts at 4:00 PM, which can feel a bit late if you’re arriving early for a gig or festival.

The Bottom Line

Hilton Glasgow is a polished, centrally located hotel that’s perfect for concert-goers who want modern comfort, great transport links, and a quiet place to recharge after the show.
