Abode

A chic and central option with character
Word to the wise: Just next door, you'll find Fratelli Sarti, generally considered the best Italian restaurant in the city. Additional branches can be found at 131 Wellington Street and 42 Renfield Street.

Set in a glass-topped art deco building, this quirky hotel is fashioned around a fabulous old cage lift with a spiral staircase wrapped around it. Each of the 59 rooms across four categories (comfortable, desirable, enviable, fabulous) have their own unique features, from the lovely stained glass in some of the "enviable" rooms to the floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the "fabulous" suites.
Check-in at this super central, unpretentious four star sleep is quick and easy, and breakfast is hearty. It's no wonder this boutique brand co-founded by Michelin-starred chef Michael Caines is stealthily expanding its portfolio of properties around the UK.
