This autumn, the Michelin-bib awarded Celentano’s is to evolve into Celentano’s Restaurant with Rooms – the first restaurant of its kind in the city.
Husband-and-wife team Dean and Anna Parker opened Celentano’s in 2021, housed within Cathedral House, a listed 1896 Scottish baronial style bed and breakfast, a business which they are now taking over to make their own.
The eight individually designed ensuite bedrooms situated over two floors provide a combination of three superkings, three doubles, one twin, and a loft double. The Parkers’ plan is to create a ‘relaxed, comforting foodie haven’ in the city, with culinary themed artwork by SShepaints of Brighton, as well as small room fridges filled with thoughtful extras.
Breakfast trays of homemade Celentano’s treats prepared in-house by Dean and his team will be delivered to the rooms each morning. Freshly baked sourdough bread with butter, seasonal compote and a sweet baked treat, alongside fruit and granola, guests can choose to have it in their room alongside in-room cafetieres and tea making facilities, which come as standard, or enjoy it in the breakfast room.
Dean and Anna said: “This is such an exciting time for the Celentano’s journey and a fantastic opportunity to help showcase what a great foodie city Glasgow is.
“Over the years we’ve welcomed Cathedral House B&B guests for a meal or a cocktail in the courtyard and so when the prospect came round, we felt it was a natural progression with the chance to streamline our offering. We’re looking forward to the challenges and opportunities this next step presents.”
Dean and Anna take the reins from Glasgow hospitality scene stalwarts Laura and Shane McKenzie, who have owned and operated Cathedral House – a former half-way house for female prisoners many of whom were suffragettes and political activists of that era – for seven years as a popular B&B.
