Take moment to check out the architecturally stunning recent addition to the city’s skyline situated opposite Central Station. Huge expanses of copper, glass and slate make this a visually stunning hulk of a hotel. The drama continues inside. Collage is one of two Mediterranean-themed restaurants in the hotel atrium. It’s low-lit with an extensive collection of works by British pop artist Sir Peter Blake adorning the walls. Stylish but not stuffy, Spanish, Italian and Greek dishes are served alongside Scottish favourites creating an eclectic and diverse spread. If you’ve seen one too many museums, blow the budget and hole up in The Apartment on the  sixth floor with expansive views of Glasgow. It comes with not one but three cutting-edge Bang & Olufsen televisions and DVD players, and has a separate dining area, two lounge areas and a fully equipped kitchen and pantry. Take me there now.
