Josie Gibson stayed at the AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow and toured the hotel's brand-new luxury wedding and event venue The Collector's Hall.
She said: "I have never, ever stayed in anywhere like this in my life."
The Liberty Suite, a two-bedroom residence with a living area, dining space, and kitchen, offers stunning views and elegant interiors.

She joked with general manager Craig Munro about her own romantic aspirations, saying: "Can I get married here?
"Can you imagine walking down the aisle to a hunky Scotsman… I've just got to find him first."
Craig said: "It was an absolute privilege to have Josie stay in our Liberty Suite.
"This two-bedroom suite, with its unique layout and high-end finishes, complements our new wedding and event space perfectly.
"We're thrilled she enjoyed her time with us and would be honoured to host her big day - when that hunky Scotsman comes along."
The AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow is a restoration of Glasgow's 120-year-old Grade A-listed former Parish Halls.
As part of the £100 million Love Loan development, the project has transformed an entire block off George Square into a leisure and residential neighbourhood.
The hotel's heritage suites, including The Liberty Suite, showcase original features such as a sweeping stone staircase, period cornicing, a glass ceiling dome, and a stained-glass window depicting Glasgow's famous coat of arms inspired by the legend of St Mungo.
The Collector's Hall is now open for bookings.

Gen Z might relate to these BBC comedy characters, but others will find them slappable

Not many TV comedies risk making jokes about abortion, so we can at least say that Such Brave Girls (BBC Three) is fearless. Sisters Josie and Billie are discussing Billie's new boyfriend. 'Are you using condoms with this one?' asks Josie. 'Or will we be adding more of your offspring to the nursery in the sky?' If you watched series one, you may remember Billie going to an abortion clinic dressed as a witch. Series creator and star, Kat Sadler, is also unafraid to tackle mental-health issues, from chronic anxiety to thoughts of suicide. The first series won two Baftas, including best scripted comedy, and it has a lot of fans who adore its brutal honesty and snappily delivered take on life. It's well done, but I just can't make myself love it. I think it's because, while Gen Z viewers might hard relate to the two main characters, they just seem to me to be quite slappable. Josie (Sadler) is terminally depressed and Billie (Lizzie Davidson, Sadler's real-life sister) is a spoilt idiot. They live with their equally self-absorbed mother, Deb (Louise Brealey) and the family are nothing if not frank with one another. Episode one of the new series kicks off with Josie miserably marrying the boyfriend she doesn't like. 'Now shut up, have some Prosecco and try not to poison this wedding with your personality,' says Deb, who makes no secret of Josie being her least favourite daughter. Josie must stick at the marriage because her new husband is the only person bringing in any household income, Deb explains: 'You laying on your back and thinking of England is a noble sacrifice for our mortgage.' These lines are funnier on screen than they are written down. Deb is determined to claw her way out of poverty and has set her sights on wedding Dev (Paul Bazely), because he has a nice detached house. While Josie endures her new husband and develops an unrequited crush on an art student, Billie embarks on an affair with a married, middle-aged man (The Bay 's Daniel Ryan). 'He's probably about 70 but he could be a 50-year-old that's really tired,' she muses. I did laugh at that line. Younger viewers probably just winced in sympathy.
