The 5 star Gleneagles luxury hotel is located in Perthshire . When opened in 1924, Gleneagles was described as 'a Riviera in the Highlands' and 'the eighth wonder of the world'. Today, the luxury hotel remains dedicated to excellence of service and surroundings.

Upon arrival at the Gleneagles, guests will notice the warmth and friendliness of the luxury hotel and its staff, who are very welcoming to children.

The facilities

Gleneagles has the myriad luxury facilities you might expect from a five star hotel. The three restaurants will sort out any cravings you might have on your stay: The Strathearn serves up traditional Scottish fare in a formal setting, Deseo spa restaurant is relaxed and Mediterranean-inspired and The Dormy Clubhouse on the golf course serves simple-but-delicious breakfasts, pies, snacks and sandwiches. Head to The Bar for a cocktail, a coffee or afternoon tea.

The luxury hotel Spa is great for stressed-out travellers in need of a bit of TLC. There is a huge selection of E'SPA treatments available for women and men, including facials, massage, body wraps and ice rubs for the brave. The spa has an indoor swimming pool, sauna and crystal steam room too.

If you want to get a bit more active, head to the luxury hotel's Club building, which has tennis courts, two indoor swimming pools plus outdoor hot pool, a gym and cycle hire. You could also try your hand at some Scottish country pursuits: shooting, riding, falconry and gundog running will help you find your inner Squire (though the thoroughly-modern 4x4 offroad track might make you forget him!).

Gleneagles is near three famous championship golf courses (King's, Queen's and the PGA Centenary), so choose this luxury hotel if you want to play where the stars are. The PGA Centenary golf course will host the Ryder Cup in 2014.

The rooms

Among Gleneagles' 232 guestrooms there are 26 luxury suites, each with a unique layout and décor. Rooms are decorated with dark wood contemporary furniture and fabric in deep reds and golds. Rooms have Satellite TV/DVD players, internet access and king sized beds on request.

Go all out on the Blue Tower suite, which has two bedrooms, loads of space and an old spiral staircase leading to the luxury hotel's original tower.
