Hilton Glasgow completes five-year refurb with launch of new spaces

In this episode we speak to brothers Alex and Adrien Grosjean, young entrepreneurs who have recently acquired The Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly. We discussed the reasons why Manchester’s visitor market is booming, and their decision to invest in this area, why they see extended-stay accommodation as a major opportunity in what is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, how they plan to enhance their portfolio of hotels, and their advice for the next generation of hospitality disruptors.

Hilton Glasgow has completed a five-year refurbishment programme with the launch of a wellness facility and a new social venue.

The hotel has unveiled Serenity, a therapy suite within Hilton Glasgow Health and Fitness, and Dram and Wee Dram, an event space created in partnership with The Dalmore distillery. 

The hotel said the investment aims to strengthen its role in attracting both business and leisure visitors to the city.

Serenity features three rooms offering therapies more often associated with health technology than traditional spa treatments. One of these, the Welnamis tranquillity experience, combines computer-controlled acoustic and vibrational therapy with a heated waterbed. The treatment reportedly helps with stress relief, sleep quality and mental focus.

A second space, the Wellsystem Wave Touch, is a dry-water massage bed that uses heated jets beneath a soft surface to deliver massage. It also incorporates LED light therapy aimed at stimulating collagen production. The suite also includes a treatment room with in-house massage services.

Alongside the wellness facilities, the hotel has opened Dram and Wee Dram, a whisky-inspired space designed for private, social and corporate events. The venue takes design cues from Scotland’s whisky heritage and is intended to offer a more intimate setting than the hotel’s larger function rooms.

Calum Ross, general manager at Hilton Glasgow, said: “Glasgow has always been a city with strong international appeal, and our new spaces reflect the changing ways people want to connect, celebrate and take care of their wellbeing.

“Dram was born from recognising the need for a stylish, intimate social venue, something completely new for Hilton Glasgow. It gives guests the chance to celebrate any occasion in true VIP style, while enjoying our food and beverage expertise in beautiful surroundings.”
