Marks Hotel in GLASGOW, Scottish Lowlands, United Kingdom | Hotel

There?s no shortage of beds in GLASGOW, Scotland?s city of culture, but until quite recently the Hotel offering has been limited in terms of style and quality. Now a flurry of activity in the boutique and luxury markets has helped filled this vacuum.
The Marks Hotel, the only independently owned Hotel of its size in GLASGOW, Scotland in the United Kingdom, opened in September 2007. After picking up the business from pack-?em-in Irish chain Bewleys, local entrepreneur Stuart Wilson reopened it a year later as Marks Hotel, once a refit had taken it from a three to four-star. The boutique styling was masterminded by another local, Catherine Henderson Design, who?s turned around the interior of a difficult property. The contemporary One Ten Bar and Grill is pulling in the public with a high-quality brasserie menu, served up in stylish surroundings, while the same kitchen dishes up an outstanding cooked Scottish breakfast to Hotel guests.
The Marks Hotel is doing a good job catering for the mid-range traveller, at very competitive rates. It has its four stars and some innovative plans, aspiring to catch up with some high-end competitors. Support of local arts and culture are part of the effort to maintain its independent feel.
