1 / 8Gleneagles Townhouse
Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.
A Georgian former bank on St Andrew Square in Edinburgh, where dogs up to the size of a Labrador get a bed, two bowls and dog biscuits.
Gleneagles Townhouse is Gleneagles' first city outpost: a luxury hotel, all-day restaurant, rooftop bar and members' club right in the heart of St Andrew Square, with 33 guestrooms shaped by the spirit of its Georgian home. This dog friendly hotel puts your dog's Edinburgh stay at No. 39 on the square, with clear terms set out before you arrive.
Dogs up to the size of a Labrador are welcome, two at most to a room, subject to the availability of certain bedrooms, and each one arrives to a dog bed, two bowls and dog biscuits; dog food isn't provided. Dogs may be left in the room without you there, though the hotel may contact you if yours is causing a disturbance, and around the hotel they stay on a short leash. Every dog needs a registration form, filled in and returned before arrival.
Dogs aren't allowed in the hotel's restaurants or bars, guide dogs excepted, so The Spence and Lamplighters are for you alone. The Spence serves a menu rooted in classics with a modern twist, from Bloody Mary breakfasts to three-course dinners, and Lamplighters, the roof terrace bar for members and hotel guests, has sweeping views over the Old Town with cocktails, whiskies and wine.
Down in the bank's former vault, The Strong Rooms hold a purpose-built gym, two class studios, a cryotherapy chamber and infrared saunas, alongside spa treatments. Among its local picks the hotel names Dean Village, a calm walk along the Water of Leith, and Wildpack puts Burntisland Beach 7.4 miles away as the closest sand on its map for your dog.
