General Manager

LGH

Lead a hotel where people feel welcome, valued, and proud — every single day.

At the Glasgow Argyle Hotel (Signature Collection by Best Western), we believe brilliant hospitality isn't just about standards and scores — it's about how people feel the moment they walk through the door. And the same is true for the team behind the scenes.

We're looking for a Hotel General Manager who leads with clarity, warmth and commercial sharpness — someone who can create a high-performing culture by meeting the Human Givens emotional needs of guests and colleagues: security, belonging, autonomy, achievement, meaning and respect.

The Opportunity
This is hands-on, visible leadership — shaping pace, tone, service and results across the whole hotel.

What you'll be accountable for

• You'll take full ownership for the hotel's day-to-day and long-term success, including:
• Commercial leadership - driving revenue, controlling cost, and making smart decisions that protect guest experience and profit.
• Guest experience - creating a consistent, memorable service culture that keeps people coming back.
• People & culture - building a team environment where motivation is sustained, performance is coached, and standards are lived.
• Operational excellence - ensuring every department is aligned, prepared, and proud of delivery (not firefighting as a default).
• Reputation & compliance - ensuring the hotel runs safely, legally, and in line with brand expectations.

Why this role is different

Because we're not looking for a “fixer” who runs on adrenaline.

We're looking for a leader who can build a hotel that runs well because the culture is healthy:

• expectations are clear
• communication is strong
• people feel supported, and performance becomes sustainable

Benefits

• Our enviable employee discounts on bedroom rates across the LGH hotel portfolio.
• Access to the IHG employee room benefit programme across their global portfolio. (T&Cs apply).
• Shopping discounts - ranging from groceries, fashion, travel, utilities, days out, and even holidays.
• Eye care
• Free legal & money advice
• Counseling sessions
• Hospital & death benefit plans
• Cycle to work scheme
• Wellbeing tips and support fitness videos
• Recipe ideas
• Advice on keeping active and healthy living
• Wellbeing podcasts and tv
• Breathing exercises
• 24/7 advice and support line
• Team reward & recognition
• Free meals on duty
• Free parking

The kind of leader we're looking for

You'll likely bring:

• Proven track record as a Hotel General Manager
• Experience in branded hotels
• Track record of improving guest satisfaction, people engagement and commercial performance
• Strong understanding of hotel KPIs — and the confidence to act on them
• Visible leadership style: present, approachable, consistent
• Ability to create structure and calm in a busy, guest-facing environment
• A people-first mindset that still delivers firm standards and accountability
