Honoured alongside the Taj West End in Bangalore, India, and Japan’s Hotel Okura Tokyo, Gleneagles also received a Grand Prize Award for scoring highest in its respective category.
Collecting the award on behalf of Gleneagles, General Manager, Bernard Murphy, commented: “Sustainable and responsible tourism is at the heart of our philosophy at Gleneagles. Set in 850 acres of beautiful Scottish countryside, we have a dedicated environmental team at the resort that considers all aspects from recycling and energy efficiency to preserving and enhancing the matchless beauty and wildlife of the estate.” The hotel guests also play their part. A discretionary £1 supplement per room per night is donated to Perthshire Big Tree Country. This has contributed to, amongst many projects, saving and restoring the Ancient Orchards of the Carse of Gowrie. Guests are rewarded with a fantastic natural environment to enjoy, whether spotting red squirrels on a woodland walk or taking in the unspoilt countryside whilst participating in the hotel’s many pursuits, including fishing, falconry, shooting, horse riding and, of course, golf. Gleneagles’ reputation is built on heritage, and its ambitious conservation programme aims to provide this unrivalled experience for generations to come. Gleneagles is proud to be a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, the luxury hospitality organisation representing more than 450 of the world’s finest hotels, resorts and spas, and is delighted to be adding this accolade to the major industry awards received in recent years.
