Blythswood Square

To indulge in an afternoon tea in one of the most luxurious spots in Glasgow, Blythswood Square is an essential place to visit. This boutique hotel is best known for its spa and beautiful rooms, but its restaurant and bar are also a highlight. Head to the Salon on the first floor for afternoon tea and choose between the standard cream tea, the Duchess of Bedford Afternoon Tea, the Tea Tox Afternoon Tea or the Tasty Scotland Afternoon Tea. Each starts with an selection of teas that visitors can choose from, the menu ranges from the scones and clotted cream that we all know and love to more unusual bites like sugar-free carrot cake, chocolate and caramel eclairs and fine Scottish cheeses.
