New chapter for Glasgow landmark as wedding and events venue
Originally built as Glasgow's City Parish Hall, the Grade-A listed building has stood as a silent witness to over a century of civic life, community gatherings and historic milestones.
With a glass-roofed courtyard and a prime location just off George Square, AC Hotel by Marriott said The Collector's Hall "blends Glasgow's rich heritage with modern luxury".
The Collector's Hall has been designed to host a diverse range of events, including weddings, charity galas, exhibitions, product launches, and private dining experiences.

The venue also features a dedicated private entrance on George Street, state-of-the-art AV and lighting facilities, a 'showpiece' canopied courtyard and a private dining space for up to 14 guests.
Craig Munro, General Manager of AC by Marriott Glasgow, shared his excitement about the launch: 'Welcoming guests into The Collector's Hall for the first time is a moment I'll never forget.
"As General Manager of The Collector's Hall and AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow, I've had the privilege of watching this extraordinary building evolve—from a forgotten parish hall into one of the city's most exclusive destinations for weddings, events, and conferences.
"With over 240 beautifully designed rooms, including heritage suites overlooking George Square, we're offering something truly unique: a fully integrated venue experience in the very heart of Glasgow.'
Jennifer Williamson, Deputy General Manager of AC by Marriott Glasgow, added: 'The journey to creating The Collector's Hall has been nothing short of inspiring. From the earliest planning stages to the final touches, it has taken a full team effort. Our hotel staff and operational teams have all contributed to transforming this remarkable space into something Glasgow can be truly proud of.
"As Deputy General Manager, I'm especially proud of what this venue offers to the city's business community. The Collector's Hall is not just visually impressive—it's purpose-built for impactful conferences, product launches, awards ceremonies, and corporate dinners.'
With the festive season approaching, The Collector's Hall is already fielding enquiries for Christmas celebrations, including company parties, client receptions and end-of-year events.
