Loved by Gleneagles Townhouse Hotel guests

"A must do is the rooftop bar overlooking the square with views across the Forth."

Situated within a few blocks of the massive Castle Rock, this Edinburgh hotel comes with a personal trainer and yoga instruction to help guests stay fit.

“I think this location is superb, placing you moments from Edinburgh Waverley and key attractions; the rooftop bar, exclusively for guests and members, certainly seems a high point. The wellness facilities, complete with cryotherapy, strike me as particularly modern for such a historically rich building. Overall, a truly luxurious experience in the heart of the city.”
