ROOM rates in Glasgow rose by 6.3% last month thanks to the World Cup Gymnastics and the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year Awards.
A report also found there is evidence for significant additional bookings for the quarter ahead as the city continues to reap the benefits of the Commonwealth Games and the immediate success of the SSE Hydro.
However, there was weakening demand for hotel rooms in Aberdeen as the fall in oil prices hits the industry.
The report from tourism market research specialists LJ Research also found that Hogmanay celebrations boosted the capital with the average price for a room at £90.95 last month, up 4.2% on the previous year.
Sean Morgan, managing director of LJ Research, said: "2014 has been a very successful year for Scotland's hotels and the tourism industry in general.
"The Commonwealth Games, the Ryder Cup and the independence referendum, in particular, have positioned the country on a global stage and have driven demand for accommodation and it is pleasing to see strong momentum for 2015 in our LJ Forecaster December results.
"Meanwhile, in Glasgow, there is evidence of significant additional accommodation bookings for the quarter ahead as the city continues to reap the benefit of an increased profile following the Commonwealth Games and the immediate success of the SSE Hydro arena."
