"I particularly loved the bathroom, a room so often a compacted after thought in city hotels, but this one was relatively spacious with a lovely claw foot tub & window overlooking the square."

Highlights
Location: St Andrew Square, just a stone's throw from Waverley Station

Dining: The Spence for all-day dining and rooftop cocktails at Lamplighters
Wellness: The Strong Rooms with cryotherapy and infrared sauna
Events: Private rooms like The Counting Rooms and The Telling Rooms
“Gleneagles Townhouse, occupying a former bank, strikes me as a rather grand reinvention. The rooms, especially those overlooking St. Andrew's Square, offer a touch of Edinburgh elegance, and that rooftop bar-accessible only to guests and members-is a savvy touch. I appreciate the nod to wellness, with its advanced gym facilities, though I'd say the location near Waverley Station is equally compelling.”
