Gleneagles Townhouse

Labrador sized dogs welcome, and they may be left in the room

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Gleneagles Townhouse occupies a former bank on St Andrew Square, with 33 bedrooms above a members' club, a rooftop bar and The Spence restaurant under the old banking hall dome. It is the city sibling of the Perthshire estate and reads as a club with rooms rather than a hotel with a lobby. It suits travellers who want New Town quiet, a spa and a five minute walk to Waverley. The dog policy is unusually specific, down to the size of dog and what is in the welcome kit.

Why it's in the collection

St Andrew Square gardens are at the door for the last wee of the night, and Calton Hill is about eight minutes east for the view over the Forth. Princes Street Gardens and the Water of Leith at Stockbridge are both within a short walk.

Unattended in roomYes

Dogs are taken in certain bedrooms only, so the room type is confirmed at booking rather than on arrival. The Spence and the bars are people only. A registration form is sent by reservations and has to come back before you travel.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
