A new boutique hotel is opening above Glasgow Central Station, offering guests panoramic views across the city from the penthouse of one of its most recognisable buildings.
The Address Wren, operated by Irish hospitality group The Address Collective, will open on July 17, becoming the company's second hotel in Glasgow following the launch of The Address Glasgow in 2023.

The 30-bedroom hotel occupies the top floor of the historic Caledonian Chambers building on Union Street, directly above the city's busiest railway station.
The Address Wren is the group's seventh hotel across Ireland and the UK.
Guests will access the hotel via a dedicated lift leading to the penthouse level.
The Address Collective says the hotel combines contemporary design with its signature Irish hospitality, offering a more intimate experience than its sister property.

The Category B-listed Edwardian building dates back to the early 1900s and has been transformed into a boutique destination inspired by the wren, a bird known for nesting high above the ground.
Guest rooms feature oak flooring, high ceilings, bespoke furniture and layered lighting, while bathrooms include terrazzo-effect tiles and drench showers.
Public spaces are finished with richer tones, and the hotel's corridors feature custom carpet runners decorated with wren footprints.

The reception area includes a bespoke quartz-topped desk, a grab-and-go counter and upcycled storage features.
Rooms start from £150 per night.
The Address Collective is owned by Brian McGettigan and family, who have expanded the luxury hotel group's portfolio across Ireland and the UK through significant investment.

"This has been a unique and exciting project, transforming the penthouse floor of one of the city’s most recognisable buildings into an intimate, design-led hotel with its own distinctive character.
"The Address Wren complements The Address Glasgow while offering guests a more intimate boutique experience, underpinned by the genuine hospitality for which The Address Collective is known.
"Glasgow has welcomed us warmly since we opened The Address Glasgow in 2023, and we are delighted to continue investing in the city and contributing to its growing visitor economy."
