A hotel in the Scottish Highlands has been named one of the most stylish on the planet by popular fashion magazine GQ.
Introducing the list of extraordinary hotels, the publication said: "From an off-grid desert oasis to Kim Jones’ go-to Tokyo spot, we scoured the globe to track down the most visually exquisite hotels we’ve laid eyes on."
The Scottish hotel wasn't the only UK spot on the list, with Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire also being highly recognised.

The Fife Arms in Braemar was one of two British hotels named among the most stylish on the planet.
Revealing the Scottish entry, GQ said: "Not content with helming one of the art world’s mega-galleries, the couple behind Hauser & Wirth have turned their hand to hospitality.
"The Fife Arms, on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, is a hunting-lodge-meets-Tate-Modern (think Logan Roy on a shooting weekend)."
"Discussing what guests can get up to during a stay at this spot, the publication added: "At the end of a dreich day on the moors, you can down your dram of whisky under a Man Ray photograph. Or a Picasso painting. Or a Lucian Freud portrait."
The hotel is equally beloved by visitors, with users on Tripadvisor giving it a 4/5 rating out of 466 reviews.
One person wrote that it is "an absolute gem of a hotel," while another added that it "has a charm to it which is unmatched."

Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire was also praised for its aesthetics with GQ writing: "Fashion crowds aren’t often drawn to the muddy depths of the Cotswolds. But Estelle Manor has taken the stuffy English country hotel playbook and chucked it out of the window.
"No detail, from the sprawling Roman-style baths to the monogrammed leather coasters, was left uncurated in the refurb of this Jacobean manor house.
"Owner Sharan Pasricha and the legends at Roman and Williams had a field day bringing the hotel and members’ club to life, blowing out on ornate chandeliers, Victorian antiques, and a surplus of silk sofas."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
