One Devonshire Gardens can host a board meeting for 8, a private dinner for 50, a wedding ceremony for 80 or an event for up to 120 guests across its rooms. The hotel, run by Hotel du Vin, occupies a tree-lined Victorian terrace in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland, close to the Botanic Gardens and Byres Road.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells day meetings, overnight meetings and corporate retreats. Day and overnight packages are flexible, and an events organiser helps plan and run each event. Meeting rooms come with free wifi and audiovisual equipment, and a tuck shop of sweets, pads and pencils is set out for delegates. Lunches and refreshments can be added. The corporate retreat package is aimed at senior leadership teams and combines team building, bespoke activities, fine wines and dining. After the working day, groups can move to the bar or the whisky room, and the restaurant runs whisky and wine tasting experiences.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel is licensed for religious and civil ceremonies and civil partnerships for up to 80 guests. The legal paperwork and the registrar are arranged through the local registry office. A room used for the ceremony in the day can be reset as a candlelit dining room for the evening. Wedding packages and wedding menus are offered.
Rooms and capacities
The event rooms keep their original features: open fireplaces, ornate cornice ceilings and bay windows. Glenlivet takes 16 to 100 guests and is the largest room. Townhouse No. 5 suits 80 to 100 guests. Macallan takes up to 50, Glengoyne up to 24, Ardberg 8 to 16 and the Whisky Snug up to 14. The Rosebank is the smallest room, for 2 to 10 guests, suited to an intimate dinner or a small board meeting. Ardberg is set with one long table and a projector screen. Across its spaces, the hotel states a capacity of up to 120 guests.
Accommodation
There are 49 bedrooms and suites, in five categories: Classic rooms, Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites, Suites and Signature Suites. Groups attending a meeting or a wedding can stay on site.
Catering
Food is prepared in-house. The hotel has its own restaurant, a bar and a whisky room, and writes dedicated meeting and wedding menus. Private dining is offered for special occasions in the smaller rooms.
History and setting
The hotel spreads across a Victorian terrace in Glasgow's West End, one of the city's residential districts, with the Botanic Gardens and the shops and restaurants of Byres Road nearby. Loch Lomond is about 30 minutes away by road, which suits a retreat that mixes work sessions with time outside the city.
Getting there
The hotel is at 1 Devonshire Gardens, Glasgow G12 0UX. The site publishes parking and directions details for guests arriving by car.
