Guests at the Gleneagles Hotel always comment on the warmth and friendliness of the hotel and its staff. Luxurious and impeccable though it is, you will find that Gleneagles has a refreshingly relaxed manner that is mirrored by the friendly courtesy of all the staff. From your first wholehearted Scottish welcome you will be looked after warmly and well.

Relax in total luxury in the well appointed rooms - many with delightful views across the estate. Take time to enjoy the splendid interiors of a hotel where kings and queens, the stars and the successful have admired the grandeur and elegance of this famous 5 star resort.

When Gleneagles opened in 1924 it was described both as 'a Riviera in the Highlands' and 'the eighth wonder of the world'. Today, the hotel remains dedicated to excellence, just as it was in its earliest days when "the avowed intention of the management is to create happiness".

Total capital investment since 1982 stands at more than UK £46 million. The total renovation and restoration has enhanced the elegance and traditions of Gleneagles. That's one of the reasons why Gleneagles are the recipients of many major achievement marks and awards. Just a few are shown below.
