Mackintosh in Style Tour

Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868 – 1928) is celebrated around the world as one of the most creative figures of the early 20th Century and Glasgow - Mackintosh’s home city - houses the pre-eminent collection of his buildings, furniture, paintings, drawings and designs.

Mackintosh made his sublime mark on three types of architecture – public buildings, private houses and tea-rooms – with the majority of these existing within the city of Glasgow.  Together with his wife Margaret Macdonald, her sister Frances, and Herbert McNair, he was responsible for laying the foundations of ‘the Glasgow Style’. 

This special tour will give you unprecedented 'Behind the Scenes' access through exclusive visits led by renowned Mackintosh Scholars.

We have chosen an elegant hotel. The ABode Hotel Glasgow was built in 1911, and was restored in 1999 during Glasgow's year as UK City of Architecture and Design. This Glasgow Hotel is a fusion of classical architecture and modern interior design.

The listed interior in the ABode Hotel Glasgow has been given a contemporary twist, creating a modern classic, making the ABode Hotel the most distinctive hotel in the city of Glasgow.

Designed for today's individual traveller, the ABode Hotel Glasgow is urban glamour. The ABode Hotel is located in the historic art district of Glasgow's city centre where shopping, business, sightseeing and culture are only minutes away.

Mingle with fellow Mackintosh Enthusiasts whilst enjoying the luxurious surroundings of the Abode Hotel and fine dining of Chef Michael Caines - official hotel and restaurant partners for this very special tour.

This is truly a unique opportunity to learn the design secrets of some of the 20th Century's iconic and influential buildings - such as the UNESCO World Heritage-nominated The Glasgow School of Art and The Hill House.
