Meat Trolleys Return to One Devonshire Gardens

Where: 1 Devonshire Gardens,, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, G12 0UX

Yesterday we looked at Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch who started his hotel career by opening Scotland first boutique hotel, One Devonshire Gardens Hotel. However, the place was recently sold to the upscale UK group, Hotels du Vin. With the pairing comes a new bistro that Hotel du Vin is so known for, while at the same time one that takes careful consideration to Devonshire Gardens' past.

Sticking true to the preferences of its people, guests can expect a trolley lunch at the bistro's opening tomorrow and the trolley will be there to stay. (What is with the U.K. and their trolleys?)

Hotel du Vin will also be supplying alcohol as wine is now a major highlight at the bistro and Again, sticking to tradition, the bistro will feature Sunday afternoon tea hours as well as a roast.

After all this gorging guests can relax in the 5-star quality that One Devonshire Gardens has always provided. A few new changes by Hotel du Vin include, big surprise, a wine theme. You'd really think the Hotel du Vin group came out of France or Italy. But nope, U.K. it is and soon this Scottish hotel will have some brand new rooms to go along with their tasty trolley and stocked whisky room:

While the restaurant has been given its own new look, the rest of the hotel is also being revamped, with Hotel du Vin spending £11.5m on the purchase and refurbishment. A total of 14 new bedrooms are being created, with each named after a different wine. In the whisky bar, bistro and main bar, paintings and iconic photographs of vineyards and wine bottles hang on the walls.

Despite all the wine themes and upgrading, it's nice to hear the hotel is sticking to its old world charms. Those are really the only reason anyone goes to Scotland anyway--for the Scottish accents and meat trolleys.
