Built in 1911, the Arthouse Hotel was recently restored combining striking new color and design with original architectural elements. Centrally placed opposite the Sauchiehall shopping center, it features local artworks in the colorful rooms. Wireless Internet access and satellite TV bring in up-to-date technology, and minibars and 24 hour room service invite guests to relax. The onsite hair and beauty salon can even provide treatments in the guest's own room, as they make full use of the bathrobes and designer toiletries.
The hotel has two restaurants; Teppanyaki seats only ten people, who can watch a Japanese chef prepare their meal in sleek modern surroundings. The Arthouse Grill serves seafood and grills in plain wood and black décor, to a soundtrack of relaxed modern music. The hotel offers business services and complimentary newspapers. The many museums, galleries and shops of Glasgow's city center are within a mile or two, easily reached by bus, train or metro. Glasgow International Airport is 9 miles (15 kilometers) from the hotel, a 15 minute drive or a short bus or taxi ride away.
