"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."

Private Gatherings

The hotel encompasses a collection of private rooms suitable for gatherings, meetings, and events. The Counting Rooms accommodate intimate meetings and celebrations for up to ten guests. The Telling Rooms offers a relaxed atmosphere with a terrace and pantry, ideal for larger groups.

“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.”
