ACCOMMODATION This is a modern apartment sleeping two in a striking building which has become something of a landmark, with its Italianate 'lantern' tower being the only curved corner in the Merchant City. It stands at one corner of the Ingram Square area, which started the process of bringing this historic part of the city centre back to life, with chic restaurants, pavement cafes and bars, designer shops and street after street of beautiful architecture within metres of your front door.

Ingram Square apartment has been newly refurbished and furnished in a cool minimalist style which perfectly suits this sophisticated area of the city. There is secure entry and a lift to take you to the apartment which, being on the fourth floor, benefits from plenty of light streaming through the windows. The main room includes open plan lounge and dining area, with a fully-fitted kitchen at one end. Clean white walls and kitchen units contrast with a stunning black granite work surface and dark wooden floors. [ click on interior photos to enlarge ]

LOCATION This apartment is in the heart of Glasgow's historic Merchant City whose magnificent buildings have been lovingly restored in recent years, and are now home to the most sophisticated and up-market shops, restaurants, clubs and bars. It's well worth exploring the area further by following the Merchant City Heritage Trail. The delights of the UK's second largest shopping centre can't fail but draw you into the main shopping centre of Buchanan Street, Argyle Street and St Enoch's Shopping Centre, for more than a touch of retail therapy. If you fancy a bird's eye view of the city, the Glasgow City Tour on an open-topped bus starts from George Square - well worth taking during your stay. If it's culture you're looking for, there are museums, art galleries and historic buildings round every corner.

Theatres too abound, with a wide variety of performances throughout the year, from serious theatre to comedy, avant garde to traditional, pantomimes to musicals. Glasgow Film Theatre is not far away, showing a specialist programme of film, TV and video, much of which can not be seen elsewhere. The latest blockbusters are available in the massive Cineworld on Renfrew Street.
