Ascott debuts lyf in Scotland with Glasgow opening

UK: The Ascott Limited, a Singapore-headquartered global hospitality company, has opened lyf George Square Glasgow — the first of the brand’s properties in Scotland.

Located at 201 Ingram Street in the heart of Glasgow, lyf George Square combines accommodation and social experiences for both leisure and business travellers. 

The property offers four room categories designed for solo travellers, couples, and friends and families.
