Native Glasgow has unveiled the completion of its extensive refurbishment, reimagining a historic landmark through the lens of the city’s glamorous Art Deco era.

Housed within an A-Listed Edwardian building on St Vincent Place, once the headquarters of the Anchor Line Shipping Company dating back to 1855, the aparthotel’s redesign pays tribute to Glasgow’s rich maritime heritage and the opulence of 1920s ocean liners. Since first opening in 2018, Native Glasgow has become a standout destination, and this latest remodelling elevates the guest experience even further.

The project introduces a beautifully reconfigured lobby, a collection of new top-floor penthouses, and a refined mix of one-bedroom apartments. Original period features have been carefully preserved, while the interiors now blend timeless elegance with contemporary comfort, creating a true “home from home” feel.Led by the in-house design team at DRG, the scheme draws heavily on Art Deco influences.

Rich materials such as walnut, marble and antique brass are paired with plush velvet and boucle textures, while bespoke furnishings sit alongside mid-century pieces. A layered neutral palette is accented with earthy greens and warm rust tones, complemented by botanical and geometric prints, including textiles from Glasgow’s own Timorous Beasties.

A curated collection of artwork by local artists completes the redesign, celebrating the city’s architecture, cultural icons and creative spirit, and offering guests a visual journey through Glasgow’s heritage.

The result is a sophisticated yet welcoming space that honours the past while embracing the vibrancy of modern Glasgow.
