If you want something extra special, consider a hotel recognized by the Michelin Guide. These hotels are known for their high quality and service.
Recently, the Michelin Guide listed hotels in Scotland with Michelin Keys. These keys are like Michelin Stars for restaurants, showing top-notch quality.
The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder is the only hotel in Scotland with three Michelin Keys. It’s about 50 miles from Edinburgh and Glasgow. This historic hotel has three golf courses, a spa, and a two-Michelin Star restaurant.

Guests can enjoy many activities, from relaxing at the spa to playing lawn games. There are also outdoor adventures like fishing, archery, and guided hill walks.
Two hotels in Scotland have two Michelin Keys: The Balmoral in Edinburgh and The Fife Arms in Braemar. The Balmoral, established in 1902, is located on Princes Street.
