Glasgow 2026: Commonwealth Games

The sporting event on everyone’s lips this year is the Commonwealth Games, landing in Glasgow in July 2026. The city is already prepping and preening itself, and if you know Glasgow, you’ll know we don’t do things by halves. From packed sporting arenas and venues to a proper warm welcome, this is set to be a momentous summer for the city, and the McQuade Hotel group is proud to be part of it.

We are a family-run group of six properties in Glasgow’s West End, and we’ll be honest with you: we’re already extremely busy. That said, one of the things our guests value most is that personal touch. Between the six properties, we’ll always do our very best to find accommodation that suits your needs, whether you’re visiting as a family, a couple, or a small group coming to soak up the Commonwealth Games atmosphere.

Location is everything, and this is where the West End really shines. We’re close to excellent public transport links, making it easy to reach key Commonwealth Games venues across the city. Scotstoun Stadium is practically on our doorstep, the city centre venues are a short hop by train or subway, and even Hampden and the East End sites are straightforward to get to without the hassle of city-centre congestion.

Guests consistently tell us they love the balance we offer—peaceful streets, cracking local cafés and pubs, and quick access to the action. Our exceptional reviews, TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice awards, and loyal repeat guests are something we take real pride in. It’s proof that small, local, and well-looked-after still counts for something.

Glasgow is ready. The city is excited, the calendar is filling fast, and July 2026 will be here before you know it. Don’t miss out, get in touch with us sooner rather than later, and we’ll do our best to secure the right West End base for your Commonwealth Games stay. This is one summer you’ll want to say you were here for.
