GLASGOW'S favourite celebrity hotel is celebrating a quarter of a century in the spotlight.

Luxurious One Devonshire Gardens in the West End has put up almost every A-lister who has visited the city during its 25-year history, from film stars Keira Knightley and George Clooney to pop favourites Kylie Minogue and Michael Jackson

Britney Spears and Robbie Williams have also laid their heads there, while Kate Moss has partied at the hotel, and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton once took his then-girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger there for a romantic night.

Former X Factor panellists Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell, Danni Minogue and Louis Walsh as well as new judges Tulisa and Kelly Rowland have also been seen there, while former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger and West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein also stayed there in the early years.

General manager Andy Roger said: "Our staff have always just got on with their business and have not been starstruck.

"We like to think it's a stunning place to come to relax and, being slightly out of town, a little more reclusive."

To celebrate the milestone, four chefs associated with the 49-room hotel hosted a lavish lunch.Current executive chef Darin Campbell was joined by the hotel's first chef, Suzanne Ritchie, as well as other former kitchen heads, Jim Kerr and Andrew Fairlie.

The hotel's top room is the Mews Suite, which has it own gym and sauna and could sleep a family as large as the Beckhams – for £1000 per night. However it's possible to snap up a less lavish room for as little as £130.

Sir William Burrell, the shipping millionaire and art collector, once lived in the block of five townhouses, built in 1886, which were gradually bought up by the hotel, rumoured to have paid £500,000 in 2006 to snap up the missing link, No 4, which for years had split the hotel in two.

It was bought by the Hotel du Vin and Malmaison Group in 2007.
