Set across 850 acres of prime Perthshire countryside in the shadow of Ochil Hills, Gleneagles is a portal to enjoying all the things that Scotland is famous for: culture, history, awe-inspiring landscapes and country pursuits that range from the impressive to the utterly fascinating. There is off-road driving, fly fishing, gundog training and an equestrian and falconry school. The estate is also home to 3 championship golf courses where the 2014 Ryder Cup was held. Inside, things only get better with a decor that nods at the glamour and effervescence of the hotel’s Roaring Twenties origins, like those antique Persian patterns and herringbone wall coverings in the corridors, and the rooms with their freestanding tubs, heavy drapes and whimsical details like the antique binoculars on the stone mantelpiece. Adding to the unique experiences at the hotel are its 8 restaurants and bars, including the The Strathearn with its Franco-Scottish cuisine,The American Bar with drinks inspired by the Jazz age and Andrew Fairlie, the only two Michelin-starred restaurant in Scotland, while The Century Bar is where you can sample over 120 single malts and vintage champagnes. The hotel also counts an ESPA spa on its resume, and a Health Club with 4 pools and fitness classes seven days a week.
