The world famous Willow Tearooms were designed by Glasgow architect and designer
Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904, and the rooms and interiors have been
beautifully recreated to give a taste of the period. Mackintosh was responsible
for modeling the outside of the building as well as the interior, and even the
design of the cutlery! The Willow Tearooms are an ideal place to relax after a
hard day shopping in Glasgow City Centre, in the surroundings of Charles Rennie
Mackintosh.
The original Willow Tearoom on Sauchiehall Street has been joined
in 1997 by a second Willow Tea Room on Buchanan Street, across from the Buchanan
Galleries shopping centre and adjacent to the Buchanan Street Underground
Station and Glasgow Queen Street Train Station. Menus, opening times, and online
reservations can be found at the Willow Tearooms website:
Spacious and cozy large beds. Breakfast was fantastic, better than I've had at 5 star hotels. Staff very helpful & friendly. There is also free use of computer and coffee/tea facilities at reception, as well as a library of information leaflets about area.
