Luxury Scottish hotel once again named among world's best

A SCOTTISH hotel has once again been named as one of the best in the world at an awards ceremony.

Gleneagles Hotel has been ranked as the 41st best hotel in the world at the second edition of the World’s 50 Best Hotels awards in London.

It was the only hotel in the UK to be named on the list which was not found in London, with Claridge’s (number 11) Raffles London (number 13) and The Connaugh (number 46) also featuring on the list.

Capella Bangkok in Thailand was named as the world’s best hotel while Passalacqua in Italy was named as Europe’s best hotel.

Emma Sleight, head of content for the World’s 50 Best Hotels, commented: “It gives us enormous pleasure to share the list of The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024 and to celebrate Capella Bangkok’s ranking as number one.

"This extraordinary hotel is a rare oasis in the middle of Thailand’s bustling capital, offering world-class service while retaining the intimacy and personality of a boutique hotel – making it a worthy winner of the top prize.

"This year's dynamic list underscores the appetite for a range of experiences, from busy city breaks to far-flung escapes, and honours the dedication and passion of the staff who make these exceptional experiences possible, while highlighting the remarkable breadth of talent in the industry worldwide.

"We look forward to the continued evolution of The World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2024 and beyond.”
