So Glasgow is the only British city to make it in to the Lonely Planet's list of top 10 cities, and Dubai money will be used to build a new super-deluxe hotel in Argyle Street.
Scots will be delighted. The city's ruling Labour politicians (still smarting from the shock of Glasgow East) will take comfort. And the SNP will bask in some reflected glory.
In short, we're set for a communal outbreak of smugness which Glasgow can ill-afford.
