BUSINESS PROFILE


A glorious playground, a warm country house,
a Scottish adventure, a relaxing retreat –
Gleneagles is five-star hotel like no other.
From its world-class golf courses, award-winning
spa and country pursuits, to its range of event
spaces, bars and restaurants, and its breath-
taking location, the 850-acre estate offers the
perfect opportunity to clear the head, gain a new
perspective, generate ideas and rekindle a spirit of
adventure.
Since opening its doors in June 1924, Gleneagles
has been one of Scotland’s most iconic hotels
and sporting estates. As part of the latest
developments, designers have been digging out
architectural plans from the 1920s for inspiration
to restore three of its most popular event spaces to
their original glory.
The Ballroom has been part of Gleneagles’ story
since the beginning, having hosted its fair share
of shindigs and soirées. After nearly a century of
glamorous gatherings – from Henry Hall’s band’s
performance at our opening gala ball in 1924
and Christian Dior’s 1955 fashion show, to Oasis’
first ever recorded gig in 1994 – it has been given
a wee makeover, to keep the stage set for the
next hundred years! The Terrace Room has been
transformed into a new space, The Parlour, nodding

to the room’s original purpose in the hotel, as a
place to which guests would retire to enjoy the best
literature, art and conversation. The trio of spaces,
which make the perfect setting for any private
celebration or event, has been completed with
the creation of The Billiard Room – as Gleneagles
reinstates The Barony Room’s original name.
The development of the Gleneagles outpost at
38 St Andrews Square is coming along nicely as

well. The stunning Category A-listed former Bank
of Scotland building is being transformed into
a luxury hotel, offering all the decadent dining
and drinking experiences you would expect from
Gleneagles, plus exclusive membership, to bring
a wee touch of Gleneagles’ magic to the heart of
Edinburgh.
Sharan Pasricha, CEO and founder of Ennismore
says: “This is an exciting time as we expand our
offering, to bring a taste of the Glorious Playground
to one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the
world, and give our guests the chance to begin their
Gleneagles adventure with us in Scotland’s bustling
capital before heading up to Perthshire”.
