After years of sashaying from Sydney Mardi Gras to Madrid Orgullo, Glasgow still sends a tartan-tinged thrill down my spine. I’ve sung along to buskers on Buchanan Street, toasted drams in Finnieston’s micro-distilleries, and crash-tested almost every rainbow-approved pillow in town—strictly for research, darling. 🏳️🌈✈️
Top 3 Gay & Gay-Friendly Hotels in Glasgow
Safestay Glasgow Charing Cross
I stayed at this colour-popped hostel for Pride and loved the mural-splashed lounge and late-night toastie bar—perfect for budget queens on the go.
“Really nice!” — Euan — Guest on misterb&b
The Z Hotel Glasgow
I had the chance to test this fuss-free hideaway opposite George Square; free evening cheese-and-wine platters sealed the deal.

AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow
I stayed at the AC for a chilled winter weekend; think Scandinavian-sleek rooms, just-right temperatures, and staff who greet you like an old pal.
