CRESCENT APARTMENT LIVING ROOM

THE APARTMENTS:
      
Each apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The living area includes television and video, direct dial telephone, and comfortable lounge sitting. The bedrooms include trouser press and hair dryer. The Crescent has a front entrance desk, fully staffed 24 hours a day, and can provide linen and cleaning services as complete as a hotel. The staff is also happy to book theater arrangements for you, offer directions assistance, and make personal recommendations for eating places within walking distance.

THE SETTING:
         
Nestled in a classical Victorian Crescent in the West End of Glasgow, these quality accommodations are close to city centre amenities, yet they retain the peace of a residential neighborhood. With gardens to the front, mews cottages and courtyards to the rear, these apartments are oases in the heart of the city. All apartments are spacious and tastefully furnished. All differ in detail but all have their own charm in comparable ways. Nearby are numerous shops, restaurants, the Hunterian Art Gallery & Museum, and the city's Botanic Gardens, Orchid House, and Kibble Palace. The area also offers a lively nightlife.

CAFE SOCIETY, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

THE LOCATION:
          Glasgow is Britain’s renaissance city of the last twenty years. Having undergone the dramatic transition from 19th century smokestack industry dowager to gleaming young queen city of high technology, art museums, parks, architecture, design,  

Glasgow's Clyde River is no longer the dreary industrial landscape associated with the Industrial Revolution.
THE CLYDE RIVER IN GLASGOW —
NO LONGER A SYMBOL OF 19TH CENTURY SMOKESTACK INDUSTRY

fashion, music, and theatre, Glasgow’s metamorphosis brought it the title of European Culture City in 1990 and UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999. The center of Glasgow has been remade into a dynamic traffic free pedestrian mall full of shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums. Using Glasgow as a touring base by rental car and/or the railway means being within reach of large portions of Western Scotland including the Ayrshire Coast, some of the Inner Hebrides islands, and beautiful Loch Lomond and the Southern Highlands. To the east of Glasgow, the castle-crowned cities of Stirling and Edinburgh are within easy reach.

ACTIVITIES:
         
Glasgow is a center for visitors interested in shopping, museum going, golf, theater, touring, fine dining.

THE OFFER:
         
Discover Scotland's largest city from your own elegant apartment in central Glasgow, shopping, eating, and traveling like a native. Experience Glasgow's lively theater district. Visit the great museums of renaissance Glasgow: the Burrell Collection, the Art Gallery & Museum, and the Hunterian Art Gallery & Museum to see three of Britain's best art collections. Travel by rail or car throughout Scotland by day, and return to your apartment in sophisticated central Glasgow at night. HOME AT FIRST makes it possible to experience the Scotland of your travel dreams.

Glasgow's Burrell Collection is one of Britain's finest art museums.
