Prestigious Scottish hotel and estate Gleneagles announces when it will reopen following lockdown

The luxury Scottish hotel has announced when it'll reopen.

The luxury hotel will welcome back guests from 15 July, pending final guidance and advice from the Scottish government.

Conor O’Leary, joint managing director at Gleneagles, said “We’re thrilled to have an opening date for Gleneagles in sight and look forward to bringing some joy to our guests after what has been a difficult few months for all of us.

“Whilst our priority must and always will be safety, and protecting the wellbeing of everyone at Gleneagles, neither of those important responsibilities takes away from our main commitment of providing guests with a sense of escape and adventure.”

Safety measures in place

For the duration of its closure, staff have been working to carefully review the entire operation to develop a detailed new set of safety protocols. A number of adjustments have been made and measures put in place to provide the highest standards of safety at all times.

From how the hotel team will interact with guests and colleagues, to checking in, moving around the hotel and servicing bedrooms, food preparation, and the seating plans in restaurants and bars - an enhanced set of hygiene and safety measures have been implemented across the estate to provide even greater peace of mind during guests’ time at the hotel.

In addition, understanding that the situation is ever evolving, the hotel has introduced a flexible booking policy which will allow guests to rearrange their stay at short notice should the need arise.

In addition, Gleneagles’ 850 acre estate lends itself well to any required alfresco dining or activity options.

On 29 May, following the First Minister’s decision to ease restrictions on outdoor leisure, golfers were welcomed back to the hotel’s fairways once again.

The hotel will continue to follow the Scottish government’s advice and work with public health authorities on the phased exist from lockdown, and the team are looking forward to welcoming back guests, old and new.

Rates for a Country Double Room start from approximately £395 including VAT and breakfast. For more information on the hotel, bookings and reopening please visit the Gleneagles website.
