Priced at £664 per night, the minimum booking for two people at the city’s Radisson Blu Hotel works out at £13,280 for a double room.

This July, the same 20-night booking would cost just £3,828, a difference of almost £10,000.

Condemned

Hotel rooms in Glasgow will be at a premium next summer due to the decision to place 3,000 athletes in hotels around the city.

Unlike 2014, there will be no communal Athletes Village to accommodate them as this temporary housing was later allocated to social tenants and private buyers.
