The five-star Blythswood Square hotel, set in the Georgian former headquarters of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club, added a stylish touch to Glasgow's hotel scene when it opened in late 2009.
The glamorous spa hotel uses energy efficiency methods including a water-conservation system that gathers rainwater, and local Harris Tweed across chairs and curtains.
Original architectural features, such as marble fireplaces, wood panelling and ornate ceilings remain from its RAC days, while the motoring theme has been continued with black and white photos of the Monte Carlo rally of 1955, which started in Glasgow, dominating walls.
Now the Penthouse Suite is open -accessed via its own lift and occupying a floor of its own. There's a kitchenette, bar area and terraced dining area giving views over the chimney tops of Glasgow with the obligatory grand marble bathroom and sunken tub. Touches of character include a bed base fashioned from a snooker table donated to the RAC Club by the Queen and a print of that famous rally behind the bed.
