A leading Glasgow interior architecture studio is looking for a Senior Interior Designer with strong hospitality experience to take the lead on high‑profile hotel refurbishments across the UK and Europe. These are projects for major brands like Hilton, Marriott, IHG and Accor with real visibility, real complexity, and real creative opportunity.

If you’re a designer who can balance concept thinking with practical delivery, and you enjoy the challenge of transforming existing hotel stock into modern, commercially successful spaces, this role gives you the platform to shine.

Why this role matters

• Developing concept narratives, material palettes, FF&E schemes and guest‑journey thinking

• Producing detailed design packages and coordinating with architects, contractors and brand teams

• Managing projects from early concept through to delivery on site

• Ensuring designs meet brand guidelines while still pushing creativity and differentiation

• Presenting to clients, stakeholders and global hotel groups

• Mentoring junior designers and contributing to studio culture

What we’re looking for

• 5–8 years’ experience in interior design, ideally with hospitality or hotel projects

• Strong portfolio showing concept development, detailing, and built work

• Confident project manager able to run refurb projects with pace, clarity and control

• Experience working with major hotel brands (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Accor, etc.) is a strong advantage

• Excellent communication skills and ability to lead client conversations

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite; Revit experience beneficial

• Someone who thrives in a collaborative, design‑driven studio

What’s on offer

• £40,000–£45,000 depending on experience

• Opportunity to work on major hotel brands and portfolio‑defining projects

• Fast‑moving refurb work with regular site exposure and quick design cycles

• Supportive, ambitious studio with genuine progression

• A role where your design decisions have real commercial impact
