wonderhouse has been appointed to handle the Scottish press and influencer enquiries for aparthotel, Native Glasgow. Unveiling its first Scottish property, Native Glasgow opens in October 2018. Providing the perfect ‘home away from home’ from which to explore Scotland’s cultural capital, Native Glasgow will mark a new way to stay for those visiting the city.

Located in the heart of Glasgow city centre, Native Glasgow sees the multi-million-pound restoration of an Edwardian Art Deco office building, formerly the headquarters of the Anchor Line Shipping Company, into a remarkable aparthotel, offering 64 apartments ranging from studio to penthouse spaces.

With a stylish modern finish, Native worked alongside interior architects ICA to preserve the building’s heritage. Guests can expect to see numerous original features, including glazed tiles, terrazzo flooring, timber wall panelling and fireplaces. Two genuine safes have been maintained within the building while the penthouse rooms offer views of the cities skyline. The windows have been carefully restored and sourced by the same family firm that fitted them in 1906. Each apartment has a large ensuite with a coloured feature tile in the shower area. These tiles are a nod to the ‘wally close tiles’ used in the original sandstone tenements. Many of which have been retained in some of the older buildings.

Native Glasgow will provide all the benefits of a hotel but with the space, flexibility and freedom of a private apartment. Facilities will include, 24-hour reception, concierge and free high-speed Wi-Fi. In addition to this, the building’s ground and basement floors are already home to two popular restaurants, The Anchor Line and Atlantic, which are open from breakfast through to dinner.
