Set in a listed building that was formerly home to the Bank of Scotland, Gleneagles Townhouse effortlessly blends Scottish heritage with contemporary interiors and a laid-back atmosphere. This city centre haven is perfectly located next to the leafy gardens of St Andrews Square, in Edinburgh’s UNESCO-listed New Town brimming with historic Georgian architecture. Following a sensitive and meticulous restoration, the property re-opened its doors in spring 2022. Original features such as oak panelling and stained-glass windows have been expertly preserved, creating a sense of elegant grandeur. In each of the hotel’s unique 33 rooms, stylish furnishings and colourful fabrics breathe a new lease of life into the historic building.

With a private members’ club, state-of-the-art wellness centre and magnificent all-day dining room, this Edinburgh retreat is the perfect place to live like a local. Savour the flavours of Scottish produce at The Spence, an elegant restaurant set in the former grand banking hall. For a dose of relaxation, head down to the thoroughly modern spa where a range of treatments are on offer including a cryotherapy chamber and infrared sauna. As the sun sets, soak in the lively atmosphere and sip hand-crafted cocktails at Lamplighters, the hotel’s chic roof terrace with remarkable views across the historic rooftops of Edinburgh.
