The team behind AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow have unveiled their first official look at the city centre’s newest event space and wedding venue, The Collector’s Hall.

Located in the heart of Glasgow’s historic city centre, something remarkable is happening behind the scaffolding that is set to become Glasgow’s leading wedding and event destination. The multi-million-pound restoration of the A-listed Collectors Hall will form part of the 240 room AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow, on George Street, adding a new dimension to the four-star hotel. It is scheduled to open this summer.

The new events space has been painstakingly restored, with period features retained wherever possible, which designers say will “seamlessly blend historic charm with modern elegance”. The Collectors Hall will offer a versatile space accommodating 120 seated guests and 200 standing. Designed to host a diverse range of events – including weddings, charity galas, exhibitions, product launches, and private dining experiences – it will bring life back to the beautiful former Parish Halls building off George Square.

“I know it looks unfinished now, but I want you to close your eyes and imagine the music, the laughter, the vows, the most iconic event” says presenter Jean Johansson, standing under the towering central dome.

Originally built as Glasgow’s City Parish Hall, the building has stood as a silent witness to over a century of civic life, community gatherings and historic milestones. Its architectural grandeur, from vaulted ceilings to intricate stonework, tells a story of the city rich in character. Now, after years of dormancy, the building is being reimagined.
