Condé Nast Traveler announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards with Glencoe House recognised in the top 10 hotels in the UK.
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry. Glencoe House has been voted 8th place in the top hotels in the UK in the Readers’ Choice Awards 2021.
Over 800,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers across the globe submitted tens of thousands of entries and shared their recent travel experiences of the world’s top hotels, villas, spas, airlines, airports, cruises, and tour operators. A record number of Condé Nast Traveler readers weighed in and declared Glencoe house as #8 in the UK for 2021. This is a celebration of the best in the world and we are immensely proud to be a part of it.
The results of the 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards demonstrate the travel experiences Condé Nast Traveler’s readers longed for most when they couldn’t travel and decided to do first once they could.
Fasih Rehman, founder and CEO of Perle Hotels Ltd commented “The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the biggest and most influential in the business, shining a light on readers’ favourite places around the world. It is always an honour to be recognised for the heartfelt service and personalised hotel experience Glencoe House offers, even more so when the recognition comes directly from our guests. We are truly grateful for this recognition of the Glencoe House team.”
Glencoe House offers elegant accommodation located in 10 acres of private gardens in the heart of Scotland’s Highlands.
The size and charm of the suites at Glencoe House are unprecedented in Scotland and indeed the UK. One of the unique defining features of Glencoe House’s elegant accommodation is your personal private sitting room, which creates the ultimate retreat and romantic hideaway.
As far as views go, it would take something quite remarkable to beat the panoramic vista of Loch Leven and the backwards look out to the Pap of Glencoe. Views that twinkled an array of autumnal shades depending on the placement of the sun in the sky. Certainly, the view was a stalwart of our stay, whether we were breakfasting, bathing or snoozing, the ample windows offered a view of Glencoe’s most serious calling card – the mountain range.
Stay a while at Glencoe and be sure to embrace the three sisters, the hidden valley and the wee herdsman, a smorgasbord of walks to suit all capabilities. A day’s hiking is all the better, knowing the ultimate comfort (Penhaligon toiletries, champagne on ice and roaring fire) that will greet you back at Glencoe House – even a jacuzzi. Guaranteed, you won’t want to leave.
From £420.00 per night B&B (during low season). Enquire by emailing reservations@glencoe-house.com or calling +44 1855 811179. For more information visit

The Scotland-based Perle Hotels has purchased the five-star Glencoe House Hotel, regarded as one of the most exclusive and luxurious hotels in the Scottish Highlands.
The hotel, which has 14 suites, sits in a commanding position overlooking the sea, loch and mountains around Glencoe.
Glencoe House was built by Lord Strathcona in 1896 and offers the perfect site for those interested in exploring the stunning highland landscape, getting a taste of walking in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland or even tracing their genealogy.
The area is steeped in history and perhaps best known for the bloody massacre in 1692 between the Campbell and the MacDonald clans.
Fasih Rehman, chief executive of Perle Hotels, said: “Glencoe House Hotel and its team are a fantastic addition to our growing hotel group.
“We appreciate what a very special place Glencoe House is, but also the very high standards at which it operates now, and we intend to build further on these in the future.”
Glencoe and the surrounding area are well known for walking locations such as Rannoch Moor, the Hanging Valley and the beautiful Lochens, not to mention the nearby Ice Factor indoor ice-climbing centre for those wishing to have-a-go at developing their climbing techniques.
Perle Hotels currently owns and operates four hotels in Scotland; in Portree, Inverness and Oban.
The Marmalade and Bosville Hotels overlook the harbour in Portree.
The Perle Oban is located on the harbour in Oban and Lochardil House Hotel is a short distance from the centre of Inverness.
Perle Hotels was established in 2014 and has grown rapidly in the past five years.
