£ £ £ GLENEAGLES TOWNHOUSE

Swapping golfing greens for the city, Gleneagles’ first urban outpost opens this spring. It comes with serious pedigree: completed in 1846, the grand, listed building on St Andrew Square was originally home to the British Linen Company. The present day 33-room hotel and members’ club has preserved the building’s original features, from its ornate facade to the tiles and cornicing. There are wellness suites in the old vaults, all-day dining in the magnificent banking hall and a rooftop bar called Lamplighters, in a nod to the Robert Louis

Stevenson poem.
