Marriott has opened AC Hotel Glasgow in a major new development in the centre of Scotland’s largest city.

The 245-room AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow is located within the £100 million Love Loan development, which is transforming an entire city block next to George Square.

The new hotel has been created using the historic former Parish Halls, which date back 120 years, alongside a newly constructed building.

The property includes the Hazel restaurant, lounge and coffee shop, plus the central AC Lounge, which features seating areas and a bar. Other facilities include a fitness centre and library, which has been designed as a working space with a self-service business centre.

Craig Munro, the hotel’s general manager, said: “Its perfect marriage of heritage, history and contemporary style adds a new dimension to Glasgow’s hotel offering and will provide guests with the highest standard of accommodation when they visit one of the most exciting cities in Europe.”
