MORE than 60 jobs will be created by the opening of a new luxury hotel in Glasgow city centre.
The AC by Marriott Glasgow, which will be located in the former Parish Halls on the edge of George Square, is set to open in October.
Up to 50 positions across food and beverage, kitchen, housekeeping and front desk roles are still to be filled and an open day will be held at the Marriott Hotel on Argyle Street next week where prospective employees will be able to find out more about opportunities.

The hotel, operated by RBH Hospitality Management, has already recruited a highly experienced 10-strong senior management team, led by general manager Craig Munro.
He 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.
"This is the chance to be first in and help shape what AC by Marriott Glasgow will become, and we expect there to be a big turnout."
We previously reported the 245-room hotel is expected to open in October.
The development is inspired by the city's history and architecture and includes the revitalisation of the 120-year-old A-listed Parish Halls into 22 'heritage' suites with sensitively restored period features, larger living areas and rarely seen aspects of the neighbouring City Chambers.
The AC by Marriott Open Day will take place on Wednesday, August 23 at Glasgow Marriott Hotel from 12.30pm to 5pm.
