Tontine Hotel

Greater Glasgow


This noble hotel in the nicest part of Greenock has appealing recently refurbished rooms that provide comfort without taking away from the building's heritage features. Superior rooms in the older part of the building are more spacious. It has a stylish cocktail bar and a decent restaurant (meals noon to 8.45pm), and staff are very welcoming. Book ahead in summer.
