The AC by Marriott in Glasgow City Centre has announced that it is set to open in October.
The 245-room George Street hotel involves the revitalisation of 120-year-old A-listed former city Parish Halls building into 22 stunning ‘heritage’ suites
The opening of the hotel will be the first stage of the £100m Love Loan property development project that will see the transformation of an area close to George Square.
The hotel, operated by RBH Hospitality Management, has already recruited a highly experienced 10-strong senior management team, led by general manager Craig Munro.
Other key appointments include deputy general manager Jennifer Williamson, formerly of RAD Hotel Group, and food and beverage manager Katie Booth, who joins from Klarent Hospitality.
The hotel still has up to 50 positions still to be filled across food and beverage, kitchen, housekeeping, and front desk roles.
Munro said: “There is a real buzz around the opening of the AC by Marriott Glasgow, and the next stage is finding the right people to bring the whole experience to life. It’s no secret that the hotel and hospitality industry has faced its challenges in recent years, and Glasgow has felt it too. There has been a shift in what employees value, and RBH has worked hard to ensure their needs are catered for.
“We understand what matters – job security, fair pay, wellbeing, and opportunities for progression – and RBH is one of the best providers of these in the industry. We know there is already significant interest in the open day, and it will provide a fantastic opportunity for prospective employees from all experience levels and backgrounds to find out more about the opportunities on offer.”
