City move for Gleneagles

The first venture of Gleneagles Hotel beyond the Perthshire hills in its almost 100-year history, the Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh, plans to open its doors on Monday 6 June.

The 33-bedroom hotel, members’ club and all-day restaurant, based at 39 St Andrew Square, will open exclusively to members and hotel resident guests for the opening period before the wider public are invited to experience the venue in early summer.

Set to welcome visitors from across the world, as well as those based locally to the Scottish capital, the Townhouse is expected to be home to some of the most vibrant dining and drinking experiences in the city, as well as offering good guest accommodation and a lively members’ club with a year-long calendar of cultural events and experiences.

The Townhouse’s building was originally home to the British Linen Company before later becoming the Bank of Scotland. Over the last five years, Ennismore Design Studio has restored the building, creating 33 rooms and suites, some of which overlook the bustling St Andrew Square. At the heart of the building lies The Spence – an airy, social space which will offer modern-style-brasserie dining, from Bloody Mary breakfasts all the way through to dinners.

Down in the bank’s former vault, Townhouse resident guests and members will have access to a dedicated training, treatments and therapies space, with curated experiences for holistic wellness and innovative technologies including a cryotherapy chamber and infrared sauna, alongside a gym and wellness studios.

The Members’ Lounge and Members’ Snug will offer exclusive spaces designed for breakfast meetings, catch-up brunches and long, leisurely lunches, as well as relaxing lounge space and a help-yourself pantry.
