Novotel Glasgow

Whisper it but we hear that Santa has his elves on overtime and his reindeer on a strict fitness regime.

In the run up to Christmas, this Big Deal on a Friday or Sunday stay at the Novotel Hotel is perfect for a present-buying trip to Glasgow; a night on the town or catching a show at The Hydro.

Right in the heart of Glasgow on Pitt Street, the four star Novotel has the ideal location for enjoying all that the city centre has to offer.

Executive room

Available for Friday and Sunday night stays, this relaxing offer is for two people to enjoy an overnight stay in an Executive room at the Novotel.

In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious two course meal from the Market Menu, along with a bottle of house wine, in the hotel’s stylish Elements Restaurant.

The next morning, a full Scottish or continental breakfast will set you up for your day in Glasgow.

Contemporary rooms

The gorgeous Executive rooms are ensuite and feature free Internet; a Nespresso coffee machine, Bose iPod docking station and extra bathroom amenities.

The Novotel is within easy walking distance of Queen Street and Central train stations. If you drive to the hotel, there is also limited parking available at £8 per night per car. Parking is on a first come first served basis and no spaces can be reserved.

Great food

Elements Restaurant prides itself on serving delicious dishes which follow the natural rhythms of the seasons.

The menu changes depending on what is in season but typical dishes might include the haggis served with a whisky-infused grain mustard sauce; Cajun chicken penne pasta tossed in olive oil, sun-blushed tomato pesto and roasted peppers or the pine nut-crumbed pork escalope coated with lemon butter and served with charred asparagus and confit tomatoes.

You can relax after your meal in the Elements bar.

Leisure facilities

Guests are welcome to unwind in the roof-top Wellness centre which boasts panoramic views of the city. As well as the great views, the centre has a gym, sauna, steam room and a eucalyptus shower enclosure – which will leave you feeling fresh and re-energised.

Happy guests

The Novotel has collected lots of positive reviews from happy guests. This is what a couple of recent visitors had to say on TripAdvisor:

‘Good stay and excellent location for West End. Stayed here when my wife and I went to a show at the King’s Theatre. You can’t get a better location for that, just around the corner. Plenty of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area and easily walkable into the city centre. There’s limited parking which was handy but make sure you get there in plenty time to get a space. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed.’

‘Caring and responsive staff, great location. This modern hotel is right in the city, walking distance from the main shopping areas. The rooms are basic, but clean, well stocked and well thought out. The breakfast was hearty and the room service was decent. Best of all however is the service from the staff, who simply could not be more accommodating.’

Treat yourself

This is a great offer if you want to treat your partner to a night away; spoil Mum with a mini-break; have a night out with friends or catch a concert at the Hydro, SECC or Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

With vouchers valid until the end of March, you could even use yours for your Friday night Christmas party.
