In December 1983, Anne Mulhern recreated the Room de Luxe in the original location and the Willow Tea Rooms were reborn. She further developed the Sauchiehall Street building by recreating The Gallery, which opened on 14 February 1996. Like the Room de Luxe, the recreation of The Gallery was to the original design. Immediately the Willow became an extremely popular destination for visitors to the City.
An acknowledgement of the care taken in rebuilding the Willow name was the invitation in 1995 by the prestigious British Tea Council to become one of the founding members of the Guild of Tea Rooms; an invitation extended to only 50 establishments in the United Kingdom and only three in Scotland.

 

 

 

In July 1997, the Willow expanded beyond the original Sauchiehall Street site, with the opening of the Willow Tea Rooms at 97 Buchanan Street. This property is immediately next door to Kate Cranston's original Buchanan Street Tea Rooms and contains recreations of the White Dining Room and Chinese Room both from the Ingram Street site. The same care has been put into the sympathetic recreation of these important interiors to offer visitors the opportunity to relax in the surroundings of Mackintosh and enjoy the experience of a bygone era.
