One of the world’s most famous golf resorts, The
Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, Scotland has unveiled details of an extensive
refurbishment programme that will see improvements and upgrades
made throughout the property.
The multi-million pound refurbishment initiative
represents a substantial investment from new owner, Ennismore, to
make the most of the rich heritage, architecture and stunning
setting for which Gleneagles is renowned.
“The Gleneagles Hotel is an incredible property
and beloved brand,” said Ennismore Founder and CEO, Sharan
Pasricha. “It is known the world over for its golf, but with 850
acres of beautiful Scottish countryside, there is the potential to
do so much more with the hotel. We really want to showcase the
unrivalled range of facilities – the glorious playground of
country pursuits and activities – we offer on the estate. We’re approaching the refurbishment with bold
and creative decisions while respecting the hotel’s history and
building on its remarkable heritage. It’s an organic progression –
evolution, not revolution – and will ensure the iconic Gleneagles
brand remains synonymous with luxury, and the hotel maintains its
position among the leading hotels of the world.”
The hotel is working
with some of the country’s most celebrated designers – including
David Collins Studio, Timorous Beasties, Macaulay Sinclair and
Goddard Littlefair – to create designs and spaces that reflect
Gleneagles’ distinctly Scottish identity, but with a contemporary
feel.
Plans are in place
to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum and the hotel will
remain open throughout the refurbishment.
“When Gleneagles first
opened its doors in 1924, it was dubbed as the ‘Palace in the
Glens’ and our aim is to surpass these glory days. We look forward
to introducing our guests to the new spaces and continuing to
provide them with a five-star experience in a setting that is
effortlessly stylish and luxurious,” added Sharan Pasricha.
Gleneagles is about 1 hour away from both
Glasgow and Edinburgh.
