A luxury hotel in the heart of Glasgow is celebrating a major industry accolade after being crowned Scotland’s Best City Hotel at the 2025 Prestige Scottish Hotel Awards. Sandman Signature Glasgow Hotel, which opened its doors in summer 2023 on West George Street, took home the top honour at the eighth annual event, which recognises excellence across Scotland’s hospitality sector. Despite only being a part of Scotland's biggest city for two years, the 179-room spot has been praised by punters and industry experts alike. The public-voted awards, backed by a panel of judges, highlighted outstanding service and guest experience from across the country. In addition to its win as Best City Hotel, the four-star Sandman was also Highly Commended in the Best Pet Friendly Hotel category, a nod to its warm welcome for guests travelling with their furry companions . The hotel shared the news with its followers on social media, writing: “We're overjoyed to announce that Sandman Signature Glasgow Hotel has been named Scotland's Best City Hotel at the 8th Annual Scottish Hotel Awards 2025! "This prestigious recognition is a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work of our incredible team. "We extend our heartfelt thanks to our staff and everyone who contributed to this achievement. Here's to delivering exceptional experiences in the heart of Glasgow!” In another celebratory post the hotel said: “Thank you once again to everyone who contributed to this incredible achievement. We're immensely proud and grateful for the unwavering support and dedication that made this award possible.” Part of the Canadian-owned Sandman Hotel Group, the Glasgow property is the brand’s fourth in the UK, alongside Aberdeen, Newcastle, and London Gatwick. The Glasgow site has quickly made its mark. Set within the iconic Pegasus House, the hotel underwent a four-year transformation before opening. Today, it features 179 stylish rooms spread across ten floors, with modern touches and premium facilities designed for both business and leisure travellers. Guests can enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, a well-equipped fitness centre, and two event spaces. It’s also home to the popular on-site restaurant CHOP Grill & Bar, a sleek steakhouse and bar that’s become a hit with both hotel guests and locals alike. Conveniently located on the west side of the city centre, the hotel is just a 15-minute walk from Glasgow Central station, making it a perfect base for exploring the city or commuting for business. Meanwhile, other winners at the prestigious ceremony included two Ayrshire-based hotels under the SimpsInns group . The Gailes Hotel & Spa in Irvine scooped the award for Scotland’s Best Spa and Golf Hotel 2025, with judges praising its “exceptional facilities and service”. The Waterside Hotel in West Kilbride also received recognition, being Highly Commended in the competitive four-star category. The Prestige Hotel Awards continue to shine a spotlight on the best of Scotland’s hotel scene, with over 500 hotels and hospitality businesses participating across the country.
