A new student scheme in the heart of Glasgow city centre is promising seven-star living for its next intake of students as the development is now complete and fully operational.

‘The Bonnie by Iconinc’ is a luxury development standing on the former site of the historic Lorne Hotel on Sauchiehall Street.  With 151 rooms, it serves students at the University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde, helping to address the chronic shortage of purpose-built student accommodation in the popular city. 

Iconinc is a multi-award-winning student living brand with five locations across the UK and has previously been recognised by The Times for its role in redefining luxury student accommodation. The brand is owned by The Parklane Group, a long-established and highly regarded operator in the student living sector. 

Marking its first venture into Scotland, Iconinc is offering "next-level luxury" student living at The Bonnie with an ultra-stylish scheme providing all-inclusive, high-end private studios paired with extensive amenities and exciting events programme. 

The development combines design-led communal spaces with a premium residential offer, including individually themed lounges, bespoke handcrafted furnishings, and striking art installations. Six studio types are available to suit a range of budgets, with standard features including designer kitchens, waterfall showers, soundproof doors, blackout blinds, and 1,000 pocket-sprung mattresses. 

Iconinc is designed to offer an all-inclusive, hotel-style student living experience, with extensive communal facilities supported by a 24-hour concierge service. These include: - 

  • State-of-the-art gym

  • Private cinema room and outdoor cinema

  • Study spaces and library

  • Auditorium

  • Spa and wellness facilities

  • Complimentary daily breakfast and free bean-to-cup coffee available 24/7

  • Chill-out pods, music zones, and games areas

  • Outdoor terrace and BBQ area Regular on-site community events are also hosted to help create a welcoming and inclusive student experience.

Students already living the Iconinc life at The Bonnie say, 

“I’m absolutely loving living at Iconinc The Bonnie. The location is honestly perfect as a student. It makes commuting to university so easy and everything I need is right on my doorstep.
“The building itself is brand new and beautifully designed, and my en-suite studio apartment feels genuinely luxurious. There’s loads of space to work, study and properly switch off, which has made such a difference to my uni life. It really feels like my own private, calm retreat after a busy day.
“The new facilities that have opened are amazing, and the free breakfast is a real highlight. Having a delicious grab-and-go breakfast available seven days a week makes mornings so much easier (and better!). Overall, it doesn’t feel like typical student accommodation at all – it feels more like living in a high-end hotel with a great student community. I couldn’t recommend Iconinc The Bonnie more.”
– Lily

“The Bonnie is an excellent student apartment. It is equipped with excellent facilities: a well-stocked communal kitchen, and a wide variety of entertainment facilities. All these have made my living experience in this place perfect. Besides, the friendly staff are also a major highlight of this student apartment. They always actively handle any problems and are always willing to help others. I really like the The Bonnie apartment that I lived in during my study in the UK. I will recommend this apartment to the next batch of students”. - 陈越 (Chen) 

Apartment costs start from £259 per week at The Bonnie.
