Find Your Way to Your Urban Shelter

Forget confusing street names and one-way systems, we’ve got you. Carlton George stands right in the pulse of the city, opposite Glasgow Queen Street Station and moments from Buchanan Street, George Square and Merchant City.

We are ready to welcome you with open doors and a bit of proper Glasgow warmth. However you’re travelling, on foot, wheels or rails, here’s the easiest way to get here. 

By Car

We’re right in the centre, so a few helpful notes before you arrive:

West George Street is pedestrian-focused between 7am–7pm, with access limited to buses and taxis during these hours. If you’re arriving by car, don’t worry, we’ve partnered with two nearby car parks, both around a 5–10 minute walk.

Local tip: The short walk from the car park to the hotel? Consider it your first taste of the city. Keep an eye out for the architecture, the street art, the energy.

By Public Transport

Getting here by public transport couldn’t be simpler. One of the perks of staying right in the centre of Glasgow.


Train

Glasgow Queen Street Station is directly opposite us (around a 2-minute walk), while Glasgow Central Station is around 10 minutes away on foot. Perfect whether you’re arriving from Edinburgh, travelling across Scotland or heading further south.


Bus

Buchanan Bus Station is around a 5-minute walk from the hotel and connects Glasgow with destinations across Scotland and the UK, including Edinburgh, Stirling, Loch Lomond and the Highlands.


Subway

The closest Subway stations are Buchanan Street and St Enoch. Perfect for zipping across the city in minutes, especially for trips to the West End of Kelvingrove.


Airport

Travelling from Glasgow Airport is straightforward.

The Glasgow Airport Express (Bus 500) runs every 15 minutes and stops at Buchanan Bus Station, just a short walk from the hotel. Journey time is around 15–20 minutes.


Pro tip: Glasgow’s transport is handy, but the city really comes alive on foot. Wander a little. Take a detour. You never know what café, gallery or hidden corner you’ll stumble upon.
