Victorian Features

The Alexander Thomson Hotel is a historic Victorian-era building. It includes high ceilings and large windows. The Alexander Thomson hotel has a 'designer' theme throughout based on the Great Glaswegian Architect Alexander Greek Thomson, after whom the hotel is named. The lobby is styled with a decorative inlaid wooden reception counter, high ceilings, and gold-framed artwork. Guests are a six-minute walk from Sloans, which claims to be Glasgow's oldest bar and restaurant, established in 1797 and eight minute walk from Horseshoe Bar.

“Alexander Thomson's location, steps from Central Station, is the main draw, but the Victorian bones and refreshed rooms create a surprisingly comfortable experience. It feels like a proper city hotel, not just a place to crash, and for the price, breakfast included, it's an easy choice. Glasgow's bustle is right outside, but the solid construction and updated amenities made my stay a good one.”
