Situated in Glasgow, Scotland, this spacious two-bedroom town flat offers a unique stay in one of the city's historic sandstone B listed buildings, originally designed as the headquarters for the Co-Operative in the late 1880s. The property showcases a striking French Renaissance architectural style, featuring four-storey pavilions capped with distinctive square domes, which contribute to the skyline of the city. Guests can enjoy secure, gated parking and convenient lift access, with the city center just a 15-minute walk away, making it an ideal location for exploring Glasgow.
The apartment boasts an expansive open plan living space characterized by high ceilings and large windows that enhance its natural light. The minimalist yet stylish decor creates a modern atmosphere, complemented by amenities such as a Smart TV with Netflix and YouTube, WiFi, and a designated office area for those needing to work during their stay. The dining area, integrated into the living space, features a large breakfast bar, perfect for casual meals and gatherings.
Accommodating up to five guests, the flat includes a king-sized bed in one bedroom and a single bed in the second, along with a large corner sofa that can sleep additional guests if needed. The bathroom is equipped with both a shower and a bathtub, providing flexibility for guests' preferences. The property also features a secure communal entrance, a welcoming reception hallway, and access to a residents’ stairwell and elevator, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience.
While the apartment is spacious and well-located, it is important for potential guests to temper their expectations regarding facilities. The minimalist design is particularly suited for younger visitors aged 18-35, and previous feedback indicates that those outside this demographic may find it less accommodating. Visitors can immerse themselves in Glasgow's cultural scene, with nearby attractions including the OVO Hydro, O2 Academy, The Mitchell Library, and the Tall Ship at Riverside, as well as opportunities to attend events at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre or Ibrox Stadium.
