Musical treat gets the festive season underway

A Glasgow’s luxury city centre hotel and spa, has launched Christmas in sparkling style with an extra magical Moët and Chandon party.

Swapping The BBC Proms for a one time performance at the Blythswood Square Hotel, the Glasgow Phoenix Choir sang the house down and welcomed guests with Christmas carols and festive flare.

Led by Johny Blue, the 120 strong choir is one of the longest established in the UK and would leave the biggest of scrooges, feeling festive.

The evening also marked the launch of The Blythswood Christmas Film Festival, as guests enjoyed a glass of festive fizz and truffle Impérial flavoured popcorn during a private screening of It’s a Wonderful Life in the hotel’s own cinema.

With cosy multi-coloured Harris Tweed chairs, the cinema is a popular favourite amongst guests and throughout December, the inaugural Blythswood Square Eyes Cinema Club Christmas Film Festival will be showing holiday classics; The Holiday, Elf, Home Alone and Love Actually. Additional dates were added after popular demand, but the film festival is now already sold out.

On the specatular Christmas launch, The Blythswood Squre Hotel Salon Bar launched its new Christmas cocktail menu featuring drinks that will warm the cockles of any humbug heart. And if that wasn’t enough, £1 from every Christmas cocktail sold in December is being donated to the Cash for Kids’ Mission Christmas, an initative set up to ensure the most vunerable children in the UK receive a present on Christmas day.

Inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and featuring original drinks such as the Ebenezer Scrooge, The Ghost of Christmas and Fezziwig.

Deemed as a landmark hotel in Scotland’s biggest, most vibrant city, the Blythswood Square has been a prestigious address since the early 19th century. As one of Glasgow’s best-established hotels, the Blythswood Square Hotel is the only one with an AA five-star accreditation.
