International hotel group Marriott are planning on opening a new 246-bed hotel near George Square in 2022.
The new hotel, part of Marriott’s Signature brand portfolio, will be located on George Street at the junction with John Street, reports Hotel News Scotland.
The hotel will form part of a new mixed-use development, to be known as Love Loan, which will include build-to-rent apartments, small-scale retail and studio space, a bar, restaurant and cafe.
The hotel itself will consist of the restoration of the A-listed former Council Parish Halls at 266 George Street and a 'sensitive' modern extension, fronting directly on to George Street.
It will be operated by hotel management company, RBH, and represents RBH’s second hotel venture with Edinburgh-based developer, Chris Stewart Group, which also owns the Courtyard by Marriott Edinburgh city centre.
Chris Stewart, CEO of Chris Stewart Group, said: “We have been working with RBH for more than five years, since opening our first Marriott in Edinburgh and are pleased to be extending that relationship to our second Marriott hotel.
"Not only does it mark continued growth for CSG, but it will also be the first phase of Love Loan to be delivered; an exciting and important date in the regeneration of this part of the city centre.”
AC by Marriott Glasgow will be RBH's eleventh property in Scotland – joining the likes of ibis Styles Glasgow Centre George Square and ibis Styles Glasgow Central.
