LOCATION [ street map ] The Beresford is ideally situated for you to take advantage of the best that Glasgow has to offer. Located at the western end of the famous Sauchiehall Street, you are close to the West End while being in the heart of the City Centre. Turn left out of the Beresford and you are in the heart of retail therapy land. Sauchiehall Street has all the familiar High Street stores you could want. At the top of the street, marking its junction with Buchanan Street, is Buchanan Galleries shopping centre with yet more shops. Continue along Buchanan Street itself and you'll find some of the most stylish shops in the city. Don't forget to visit Princes Square, a small but beautiful shopping arcade on three floors, stuffed with designer shops and good quality restaurants and bars. Just a couple of minutes walk from the Beresford is the Kings Theatre, and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is next to Buchanan Galleries, while the massive multi-screen Cineworld is close to Buchanan Street bus station.

Turn right out of the Beresford and a fifteen minute walk will put you in the stylish West End with its magnificent architecture, laid-back cafes and restaurants and cultural landmarks such as the newly-restored Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and the Transport Museum. Further on is Byres Road, famous for its unique shops, restaurants and bars. The striking Victorian buildings of Glasgow University are here, housing the Hunterian Museum, Art Gallery and the Mackintosh House.

Public Transport The Beresford is a fifteen minute walk from Glasgow Central Railway Station, five minutes from Charing Cross Station and ten minutes from Buchanan Street Bus Station, and there are always taxis available. The nearest subway station is Cowcaddens, although there is a quite a hill to climb, so beware if you have heavy bags. Alternatively, we recommend either St George's Cross or Buchanan Street Station - a slightly longer walk from either, but far flatter. For subway information, click here, Car Parks There is no parking on site, but the Charing Cross 24 hour multi-storey car park is in nearby Elmbank Crescent.

Useful local shops Nearest bank: Royal Bank of Scotland, directly opposite the Beresford. Nearest supermarket: Tesco - on the ground floor of the Beresford. Nearest pharmacy: Boots - turn right outside the Beresford and it's a few shops along, can't miss it. Nearest post office - Charing Cross office, 533 Sauchiehall Street. Turn right outside The Beresford. Nearest café/restaurant/bar. The Capitol on the ground floor of The Beresford - how convenient is that?
