Two glass awards for Gleneagles

Gleneagles is delighted to have retained the accolade of ‘Best Golf Resort in the World’ at The Daily Telegraph and Ultratravel Magazine��s ULTRAs 2018 awards for a remarkable seven years running – a fitting achievement to mark the end of a successful year. In the same week, the hotel also scooped the ‘Domestic Bliss’ prize at the National Geographic Traveller Reader Awards 2018 for the second year in a row. Determined by readers’ votes, the two awards are the latest in a string of achievements for the hotel over the last 12 months.

General Manager, Conor O’Leary, was also crowned Hotelier of the Year at the Hotel Designs Brit List 2018.

In a year that has seen the hotel unveil more new spaces – with the launch of Ochil House, the new-look Dormy restaurant and the redesign of all its Braid House bedrooms – Gleneagles also scooped the Best Luxury Hotel title at the 2018 Hospitality Design Awards, and an interior design award for ‘Best Event Space’ at the 2018 AHEAD Awards.
