Hotel Indigo Glasgow occupies a striking Art Deco building in the city centre. Each room is individually designed with local neighbourhood themes celebrating Glasgow's industrial and cultural heritage. The Steak and Lobster restaurant and Grain Store bar are popular with both guests and locals.
Hotel Indigo Glasgow occupies a striking Art Deco building at 75 Waterloo Street in Glasgow's city centre, within the financial district and a six-minute walk from Central Station. The building's original Art Deco facade — a handsome example of the interwar commercial style that characterised Glasgow's expansion in the 1930s — has been carefully preserved and integrated into a hotel that now contains 94 guest rooms, each individually designed around themes celebrating Glasgow's industrial and cultural heritage. The Hotel Indigo brand, part of the IHG portfolio, positions its properties as neighbourhood-story hotels where local history and identity drive design decisions. At the Glasgow property, this manifests in rooms that reference the city's Clyde shipbuilding legacy, the Glasgow School of Art, the Empire Exhibition of 1938, Charles Rennie Mackintosh's influence on Scottish design, and the city's musical and creative traditions. Artwork, fabrics, and custom furnishings reinforce each room's narrative, creating a genuine sense of local place that is uncommon in chain hotel accommodation. Rooms range from cosy Standard rooms with clever space planning through to more spacious Deluxe and Penthouse Suite configurations with panoramic city views. On the ground floor, the Steak and Lobster restaurant has become one of Glasgow's better-regarded dining destinations, attracting both hotel guests and city-centre professionals. The menu focuses on premium beef cuts and seafood, with the grilled lobster and USDA-sourced steaks among the most-ordered dishes. The adjacent Grain Store bar is a lively space serving a curated selection of Scottish gins, malt whiskies, and craft beers, with bar food available throughout the day. A gym provides fitness facilities for guests. Glasgow Central Station, with intercity services to Edinburgh (50 minutes), London, and all Scottish destinations, is a six-minute walk along Waterloo Street.
