31 Jul 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
Yes, it’s still a year away. No, that doesn’t mean you should wait.
Glasgow is gearing up to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games, and whether you’re here to cheer, compete (go you!), or just soak up the atmosphere, one thing’s certain — you’ll need a great place to stay. Spoiler alert: the good ones (ie. The McQuade Hotels!) don’t hang around for long.
Enter The Acorn Hotel — small, stylish, and brilliantly located in Glasgow’s leafy West End. We’re just beside Kelvingrove Park, a short stroll to the buzz of Byres Road, and minutes from transport links that’ll get you to the Games action with time to spare (even if it’s not your personal best ). Think: clean, comfortable rooms, friendly faces, and quiet nights to balance out the excitement of the day. No inflated prices, no tourist-trap chaos — just a genuinely good stay in a spot locals love.
Now, we know 2026 sounds like ages away. But trust us, when Glasgow starts buzzing and fans begin to enquire, you’ll be glad you booked before the rush. Every big event has that moment when people suddenly realise, “Oh no, everything’s full!” — and by then, you’ll be one of the lucky ones, sitting back with your booking secured and your feet up.

Check availability and book your room — before everyone else remembers what year it is.
