The Beresford, Art Deco hotel building in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Beresford is a ten-story building on Sauchiehall Street constructed with characteristic Art Deco elements across its sandstone facade. It now houses 121 private residences while maintaining its original entrance and architectural details.
The building opened in 1938 to accommodate visitors attending Glasgow's Empire Exhibition. During World War II, it served as quarters for American and British military personnel.
The building reflects Glasgow's evolution toward modern design and continues to draw visitors interested in the elegance of this architectural period. The preserved entrance hall and interior details still showcase the refinement of the era when it served as a gathering place for travelers.
The building sits centrally on Sauchiehall Street and is easy to reach on foot. Since it contains private apartments, you can view the exterior and preserved entrance hall without access to the residential interiors.
A young American visitor delivered a public address here that marked the beginning of a later significant political career. This moment coincided with the exhibition visit and shows the cross-Atlantic connections of that era.
