Gleneagles continues to meet the demands of the world's most intrepid traveler. Building on that rich history, a run of new additions for 2026 gives guests fresh reason to experience Gleneagles at its finest this year, spanning a fresh suite reborn in the hotel's original tower, a new home for country pursuits at High Moor Lodge in collaboration with Macallan, an exclusive dining partnership with Dom Pérignon, and a wild new wellness ritual at Frandy Water.
THE TOWER SUITE: GLENEAGLES’ MOST GLAMOROUS RESIDENCE YET
Arriving September 28, the Tower Suite is Gleneagles' most characterful suite yet, transforming the hotel's original tower, once home to its library, into a one-bedroom residence set over two levels. Designed by award-winning AIME Studios and drawing on the hotel's 1920s Art Deco origins and the romance of rail travel, the suite is home to Gleneagles' only private rooftop terrace, reached through a hidden staircase and set with sweeping views across the Ochil Hills and the hotel's three golf courses. A ten-seat dining room, a plush sitting room and library, and a bespoke Night Pantry mini bar complete a residence built for entertaining, supported throughout the stay by a dedicated host.
HOW: The Tower Suite at Gleneagles is available to book from 28 September. Prices start from £7,750 (approx. $10,500) per night. gleneagles.com/stay/suites/tower-suite/
HIGH MOOR LODGE: A NEW STANDARD IN COUNTRY PURSUITS
Launched in August to coincide with the Glorious Twelfth, High Moor Lodge is the newest addition to the Gleneagles Shooting & Fishing School, developed in collaboration with Macallan. Set within the hotel's 850 acres, the lodge offers a covered five-stand clay shooting course for parties of up to eight guests, with a choice of a two-hour Classic experience or a four-hour Heritage experience that adds a simulated grouse drive and a pheasant flush at the King's Tower. A Macallan Experience whisky tasting can be added to close the day, giving guests a world-class shooting experience set within some of Perthshire's most picturesque countryside.
HOW: Prices for High Moor Lodge experiences start from £260 (approx. $352) for the first guest, then £215 (approx. $291) thereafter for the High Moor Classic, £990 (approx. $1,341) per session for two guests on the High Moor Heritage, additional guests at £450 (approx. $610) per person, and The Macallan Experience can be added on request. https://gleneagles.com/pursuits/high-moor-shooting-lodge/
THE CELLAR X DOM PÉRIGNON: A LANDMARK PARTNERSHIP
This June, Gleneagles and Dom Pérignon launched The Cellar x Dom Pérignon, an intimate tasting and dining experience for up to twelve guests, set within the hotel's historic wine cellar. The centerpiece is a five-course tasting menu created by Gleneagles' chefs, paired with a curated selection of Dom Pérignon cuvées. Guests can also explore a library showcase of more than 40 Dom Pérignon rarities, or curate their own bespoke vertical tasting. The space nods to the Maison's birthplace at the Abbey of Hautvillers, with a custom travertine dining table so large it was delivered by crane through the cellar's original 1920s service hatch. Experiences range from a Dom Pérignon & Canapé Reception to the full Cellar Experience, which opens with King's Golden Oscietra Caviar alongside Dom Pérignon Vintage 2017.
HOW: The Cellar x Dom Pérignon is available to book via the Gleneagles website. Guests must pre-book the full dining experience at least three weeks in advance, while tastings can be reserved up to three days ahead. Prices begin at £150pp (approx. $203), up to £695pp (approx. $942) for The Dom Pérignon Experience.
FRANDY WATER: A WILD SAUNA AND FRESHWATER EXPERIENCE
Since May, Gleneagles has extended its wellness offering beyond the spa with Frandy Water, a wood-fired sauna and freshwater immersion experience set on the shores of a private reservoir fifteen minutes from the hotel. Accommodating up to six guests, the panoramic sauna anchors a 90- or 120-minute contrast therapy ritual, alternating heat with cold water immersion before guests rest at a private deck illuminated by a fire pit with herbal teas, a combination known to boost circulation, aid muscle recovery, and reset the nervous system. Frandy Water also offers Canadian canoeing, kayaking, and trout fishing, joining the Gleneagles Sporting Club as part of the hotel's broader expansion into outdoor pursuits.
HOW: Prices for Frandy Water experiences start from £220 (approx. $298) per 90-minute session for two people, plus £80 (approx. $108) for each additional person. gleneagles.com/pursuits/the-sauna-water-sports-at-frandy-water
