Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the right note for gig-goers. You’re within walking distance of Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Buchanan Galleries, and Queen Street Station, making it easy to reach venues and grab a late-night bite nearby.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a cool place to crash between shows and bar hopping

• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans wanting quiet recovery time after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want style without splurging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on site, the hotel’s bar serves drinks and snacks into the evening, and you’re steps away from Merchant City’s bustling dining scene. Late-night eateries are walkable, and with breakfast available after a lie-in, you're covered for the morning after the show. 24/7 snacks and drinks are available in the lobby area, perfect for post-gig cravings.

Nightlife Options

This area doesn’t sleep. You’re surrounded by Glasgow’s top pubs, cocktail bars, and music lounges. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its location means you can stumble back from nearby clubs or catch a quiet pint at the hotel’s quirky lounge bar, which serves up local spirits and a laid-back vibe.

What People Say

Guests rave about the trendy design, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Travelers love how close it is to everything—venues, transport, bars—without the noise of being right on top of it all. The communal spaces are praised for being great to hang out in before or after a show.

Areas for Improvement

The rooms are on the compact side, so if you’re traveling with lots of gear, space might be tight. Some guests mention that while stylish, the minimalist setup lacks storage. But for most music fans spending more time out than in, it’s more than enough.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a fun, modern base in a top location, Moxy Glasgow Merchant City hits all the right notes.
