Glasgow Cultural Attractions
Glasgow's Southside is home to some of the city's internationally renowned cultural attractions, all of which are within
close proximity to the hotel.
The Burrell Collection, one of Glasgow's cultural gems,
houses more than 8,000 objects and was gifted to Glasgow by the shipping magnate Sir William Burrell. The Collection includes
a range of European paintings including works by Degas and Cézanne, and modern sculpture including works by Epstein and
Rodin.
For architecture and design lovers, a visit to House for an
Art Lover in
Bellahouston Park is a must. Completed in 1996, this celebrated attraction was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and
built to his original plans. The lush surroundings of the Art Lovers' Café is a popular venue for lunch and afternoon tea,
while the Art Lover's Gallery sells a high quality selection of Rennie Mackintosh inspired gifts and souvenirs.
To experience an array of multi-cultural performances and visual art stop off at
The Tramway.
With a programme of events all year round, the Tramway has something to offer everyone. The Tramway's Hidden Gardens has
established itself as one of Glasgow's must see landmarks, winning major design and regeneration awards.
If you fancy an evening at the theatre, the
Citizen's Theatre offers a programme of
productions to suit every taste, from repertory theatre to musicals and Shakespearean masterpieces.
Glasgow offers a range of other leading attractions, including: the
Science
Centre which is home to a range of interactive exhibits and Scotland's only IMAX cinema; Kelvingrove Museum &
Art Galleries, the largest civic museum and art gallery
in the UK housing collections of international importance; the
Gallery of Modern Art, the second most visited contemporary art gallery outside London; and the Charles Rennie McIntosh
inspired
Glasgow School of Art, which has become renowned as one of the UK's pre-eminent
institutions for the study of fine art, design and architecture.
All of Glasgow's attractions are easily accessed by the city's transport links, including the famous 'Clockwork Orange' subway
system which connects the South Side and City Centre and bustling West End.
