Frommer's Review
The Lighthouse (Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City) opened in 1999, a year when the city hosted an international celebration of its architecture. It is housed in Charles Rennie Mackintosh's first public commission, home of the Glasgow Herald newspaper, from 1895 until the middle of the 20th century. The landmark 7-story building houses a state-of-the-art exhibition space devoted to architecture and design. The Mackintosh Interpretation Centre on the third level is the Lighthouse's only permanent exhibition, which provides an overview of Mackintosh's art, design, and architecture. Visitors can ride an elevator to a viewing platform that offers a unique panorama of the city. The facility includes a cafe: the Doocot.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
