The Glasgow Marriott Hotel has announced extensive refurbishment plans as it aims to establish itself as a “modern, stylish design-led destination”.
The revamp across all of the public spaces means that the 303-room hotel now features a new Greatroom, covering the reception area, lobby, a new lounge bar, as well as the signature Cast Iron Grill restaurant.
All guest rooms are also included in the upgrade with an additional six Junior Suite and the 75 Executive Rooms will benefit from access to the Marriott Hotel’s Executive Lounge with improvements to the ten meeting rooms. The project completion is due by December 2024.
The company say that the new look Marriott incorporates elements of the city’s history and character, blending Glasgow’s manufacturing heritage, bridges, and famous street murals. The hotel features multi-dimensional textures with artwork and furnishings inspired by the local trades like textiles, glass, and pottery that were historically produced along the River Clyde and all guest rooms feature pieces from Glasgow’s street murals on buildings.
Chris McGuinness, General Manager of Glasgow Marriott Hotel, said, “Glasgow Marriott has been a cornerstone of the city, beloved by commuters, corporate guests, and leisure travellers for many years. Our major investment into upgrading this iconic property marks an exciting new chapter for the Marriott brand in Glasgow.
“We are renowned for exceptional service, Marriott Glasgow’s reputation for outstanding service is a source of immense pride for all of us, the refurbishment means that we can elevate this service to even greater heights.”
