Hilton’s Motto brand coming to Glasgow

The first Motto by Hilton hotel in the UK is set to open on the banks of the River Clyde next year as part of a franchise agreement with Cycas Hospitality and under the ownership of Silk Property Group.

The urban lifestyle brand recently saw its European debut in Rotterdam and is designed to help guests ‘live like a local’ in prime locations globally. Motto by Hilton Glasgow will have 186 rooms and be the eighth operated by Hilton in the Glasgow area. Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, EMEA, Hilton, says “The hotel will cater to a range of guests, whether travelling for work or play, solo or in a group, with innovative new features such as multi-use group spaces and multiple connecting rooms.”

The hotel will feature interiors influenced by distinctive Glaswegian architecture styles, including Art Nouveau references and Mackintosh-inspired designs. It will become part of the Hilton Honours guest loyalty programme.
