CW’S places to stay

PREMIER INN GLASGOW CITY CENTRE SOUTH

Premier Inn has several hotels in Glasgow, although the City Centre South hotel is arguably the best suited to those wishing to attend some of the track events at the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome.

Starting at just £139 a night, standard rooms are available with free Wifi, and there is parking available for an additional fee on site.

MALDRON HOTEL GLASGOW CITY

If you’re looking for somewhere slightly more luxurious, then the Maldron Hotel in the heart of the city could be the place for you.

Starting at a cost of £221, a deluxe double room is available for multiple nights at the beginning of August when the World Championships are in town. The hotel has consistently received five star reviews from clients, and has all of the amenities you’ll need on site including parking, a bar, a restaurant and fitness centre.

A full Scottish or Irish breakfast is also available every morning.

MOTEL ONE GLASGOW

If you’re thinking of heading to Scotland for the duration of the championships, and you’re after a set base for the whole event, Motel One has some great options available online through booking.com.

Located on Oswald Street, Motel One is right next to Glasgow Central Station, which makes it excellent if you’re arriving by rail. George Square and Queen Street stations are also just a nine-minute walk away, making for great connectivity across the city during your stay, and to get out to the velodrome in Parkhead.

If you’re booking in advance, you can get a large queen room at a cost of £1,383 for one person. Breakfast is available each day on site, setting you up nicely for a day of watching the racing. A bar is also available to relax over a drink in the evening.

MERCURE EDINBURGH HAYMARKET

If you’re planning on catching the start of the elite men’s road race, before making a dash to the finish in Glasgow, then Mercure’s hotel on Edinburgh’s Haymarket is in prime position. Situated just a stone’s throw from Edinburgh Castle, a ‘comfort double room’ is available in the hotel for a three-night stay at a cost of £780. Breakfast is available, along with parking and a fitness centre.

With good access to roads out of the city, you can catch the start of the road race in Edinburgh before hitting the road to Glasgow (one hour’s drive away) to catch the finale.
