Cathedral House Hotel

You're standing on Cathedral Square, one of Glasgow's oldest corners, and Cathedral House feels like stepping into the city's actual bones. It's a proper Victorian townhouse that's been doing the hotel thing for decades—the kind of place where they've kept the original cornicing and fireplaces rather than ripping them out for some corporate makeover. The location is brilliant if you want to explore the medieval bit of the city: the Cathedral itself is literally across the square, and you've got Provand's Lordship and the Necropolis on your doorstep. It's not trendy or Instagram-baiting, it's just reliable, characterful accommodation in a building that actually means something to Glasgow's story.
