Gleneagles Townhouse

Housed in an 18th-century building that was once the Bank of Scotland, the hotel includes just 33 rooms and a design aesthetic that combines the building’s Georgian heritage with a contemporary look. Accommodations are plush and indulgent, with high ceilings, antique rugs, and velvet upholstered furniture. Select marble bathrooms feature clawfoot tubs.

The Spence celebrates world-class produce from Scotland, and the all-day menu highlights a modern twist on classic cuisine. Lamplighters Rooftop Bar, tucked high above the street, offers seasonal cocktails, Champagne, and whisky.

The Strong Rooms are located in the building’s former vault and are home to a gym and spa. Enjoy state-of-the-art equipment or sign up for a fitness class. Sample cryotherapy or the infrared sauna, or treat yourself and book a massage, facial, or body treatment.

Explore Edinburgh, from its iconic castle to the picturesque, curved Victoria Street, which is filled with unique shops. Hike to the top of Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano in Holyrood Park for spectacular views.
