Gleneagles Townhouse, Edinburgh, Scotland

Gleneagles—the iconic country house hotel in Perthshire—launches its first city outpost this spring on storied St. Andrew Square in a building that was once home to the Bank of Scotland. Much like the original sporting estate, Gleneagles Townhouse will feature classic, historical elements throughout its 33 rooms and suites—think moldings, canopy beds and original fireplaces and paneling—but with a modern twist as conceived by Ennismore Design Studio. Food and beverage are set to take center stage at the hotel-cum-members club, with The Spence serving modern Scottish cuisine all day and the rooftop Lamplighters bar offering the best whiskys. In a unique wellness twist, the former bank vault has been transformed into a state-of-the-art gym, complete with yoga studio and cryotherapy chamber.

Villa Soro, San Sebastián, Spain

Designed in the 19th century by noted architect Luis Elizalde, Villa Soro has been thoughtfully reimagined by the team behind the stylish Mallorcan properties Sant Francesc Hotel Singular and Can Ferrereta. The result is a soothing, 25-room Basque inn that retains its historic roots—an enormous central staircase, oak paneling, marble floors, grand fireplaces and extensive gardens by Pierre Ducasse have all been kept faithfully intact. While the property isn’t technically new, its spring opening will offer art lovers (the hotel’s collection includes works by Chillida and Jorge Oteiza) and families alike a city escape on the Bay of Biscay.

100 Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland

Another excellent addition to the city—one with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle—100 Princes Street has been reimagined by the design team behind Ireland’s sumptuous Ashford Castle and promises to celebrate Scottish heritage. Once home to visiting members of the Royal Over-Seas League, 100 Princes Street will continue the tradition of welcoming the intrepid—and those who simply seek the finest whiskies in the world. But it will be the artisanal touches that set this 30-room boutique bolthole apart: a bespoke tartan designed by Araminta Campbell, a hand-painted mural by Croxford & Sanders that pays homage to great Scottish explorers and wines from the owners’—the Tollman family of Red Carnation Hotels fame—Bouchard Finlayson vineyard in South Africa.
