Jason McKerrell will take up the Hotel Manager post at ibis Styles Glasgow Centre West, prior to the hotel’s opening in the coming weeks.
The new venue, which will be operated by RBH, will be the second ibis Styles hotel in Glasgow, joining the brand’s first hotel in the city on Miller Street, which opened in 2015.
As well as running the new hotel on Glasgow’s Waterloo Street when it opens, McKerrell will assist General Manager Rory MacAleece – who was looked after the Miller Street property, and is now set to oversee operations across both ibis Styles hotels.
With a unique design inspired by Glasgow’s vibrant music scene, ibis Styles Glasgow Centre West will boast 137 contemporary bedrooms as well as a bar area.
Hotelier McKerrell, who has over 13 years’ industry experience, has worked at hotels and resorts across Benidorm in Spain from 2005 until 2017. He then took up the post of Food & Beverage Manager for Crerar Scotland in Pitlochry.
McKerrell said, “Glasgow’s hotel market is booming right now, so it’s very exciting to be looking after the city’s latest addition – particularly following the success of the ibis Styles property on Miller Street.
“ibis Styles Glasgow Centre West is in a fantastic central location, close to Central Station and a stone’s throw from all the amazing shopping, bars, restaurants and famous attractions Glasgow has to offer.
'We’re also perfectly positioned within the city’s business district for any corporate guests. We can’t wait to open our doors to welcome our first guests soon.”
