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.
Gleneagles (below) was also named in the World’s 50 Best Hotels when the awards ceremony was held last year.
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.

"We look forward to the continued evolution of The World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2024 and beyond.”
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
