Radisson RED Hotel Glasgow

Stylish Rooftop Escape Steps from the Stage

Modern, bold, and brimming with energy, Radisson RED Hotel Glasgow brings a unique, art-inspired vibe to the city's West End. Sitting just 200 yards from The Hydro and a 4-minute walk from the SEC, this hotel couldn’t be more perfectly placed for music lovers. With 174 contemporary rooms, Glasgow’s first official rooftop bar, and a buzzing social scene, it's the kind of place where the night doesn’t end when the encore does.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Radisson RED absolutely nails it. You can practically hear the soundcheck from your room—The Hydro and SEC are both under a 5-minute walk away. After the show, stroll back without needing a cab. Soundproofed rooms mean you can crash in peace, and with check-out at noon, there’s no rush the next morning. Whether you're heading out or winding down, the hotel’s 24/7 vibe and rooftop bar keep the energy going.
