However, London is not just an “old city”, but is constantly changing with the times visible in the avant-garde Shard and the Tate Modern extension. Within Central London, one becomes completely immersed in the hustle and bustle, yet peace and open, green expanses are not far away in Hampstead Heath or Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.Scotland, home of some of the largest areas of wilderness left in Western Europe, provides a welcome contrast from the furor that can be found in London. Here, hiking opportunities abound as you cross fields that once were host to battles fought to wrestle control of this nation. Many great castles still stand, providing a look into what royal life was like in the Middle Ages. The natural beauty of the expansive Scottish landscape is most impressive with hills covered in colorful heather and bracken.

You will then have the opportunity for a private cruise along the River Thames before continuing to Kew Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring worldwide flora form the 18th to 20th-centuries over 75 acres. For a casual, yet fun dining experience, we recommend Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub, known for the many famous patrons that have enjoyed pints here, including Mark Twain, Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K.

Located just around the corner from Buckingham Palace and situated in one of the finest areas of central London, Belgravia, The Goring is London’s oldest and last remaining family-owned luxury hotel. With a boutique-sized 69 suites and rooms, The Goring offers a quintessentially English and impeccably individual experience. While rooms are smaller in size, the lack of space is made up by The Goring’s incomparable and timeless service. The Goring’s dining experience is first-rate with Executive Chef Shay Cooper heading the Michelin-starred restaurant and Head Sommelier, Jean-Baptiste Lemoine providing wine pairings. The Goring serves as an excellent starting point, as it is within a good strolling distance to visit London’s most prominent cathedrals, palaces, museums, shopping streets, and pubs. For families in particular, The Goring offers babysitting services, a children’s library, children’s sightseeing recommendations, and nursery items. If opting to stay in a suite, you will be assigned your own dedicated footman to fulfill any request or indulgence at any hour of the day. While the highest standards in service and upkeep are expected at The Goring, the hotel emits a true family atmosphere rather than of pretentiousness or haughtiness.[/lity-lightbox][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”40″ thin_single_color=”#28a69e”][vc_column_text align=”center”]The Goring Hotel[/vc_column_text][lity-lightbox link_type=”Text” content_type=”Text” trigger_text=”View More Info >>”]Located just around the corner from Buckingham Palace and situated in one of the finest areas of central London, Belgravia, The Goring is London’s oldest and last remaining family-owned luxury hotel.

The lavishly designed Victorian rooms are spacious, though perhaps a bit too colorful for many of our Mies-loving friends. In addition to amazing views of the grounds and surrounding mountains, all rooms are individually designed with elaborate furnishings, many preserved as gifts from the king of Norway (plus updated amenities and 40-inch TV’s for your BBC fix!). Among our favorite areas at Inverlochy are the colorful walled gardens and lovely paths for walking. Please note a jacket is required for dining at the castle’s renowned Albert and Michel Roux Jr. restaurant.

Located in the far northwest highlands of Scotland, Kinloch Lodge is a remote and markedly peaceful private lodge near the village of Tongue. Originally owned by the Duke of Sutherland, the property was sold in the 20th-century and bought by Anders Holch Povlsen, a Danish environmentalist and currently the largest landowner in Scotland. With very little cell phone service in the area, it is a place for enjoying the scenery of the open nature. The rooms are cozy and spacious, with a warm and homey design. We particularly love the property’s conservatory! With a staff, chef, and outdoor guide, the Kinloch takes care of every detail so that guests may make themselves at home and fully enjoy time to themselves or with loved ones.

Despite its 232-room size, the Gleneagle’s service and attention to detail are truly remarkable. While staying here, past clients have given special praise to the resort’s Estate Rooms. Just below the Suite level, Estate Rooms are spacious with updated amenities and offer spectacular views of the gardens, grounds, and the Perth countryside. In addition to several restaurant choices, amenities include a 2014 renovated ESPA spa, two indoor pools, and a well-equipped gym.

Overlooking the Royal & Ancient Clubhouse and the 17th fairway of the iconic Old Course at St Andrews, your stay here may be your trip highlight. The 144-room Old Course Hotel is decorated in a contemporary style, with room options featuring modern interior design or classic elegance. There are several bars and restaurants, with the Road Hole Restaurant being the favorite among clients who have stayed here (great views!). We are excited to mention that the hotel’s Kohler Waters Spa has been relaunched, following an expansive renovation. The 25,000 sq. foot spa includes 13 treatment rooms, a 65-foot indoor swimming pool, steam room, ice fountain, and a cold plunge pool. Enjoy this special place![/lity-lightbox][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”40″ thin_single_color=”#28a69e”][vc_column_text align=”center”]Old Course Hotel[/vc_column_text][lity-lightbox link_type=”Text” content_type=”Text” trigger_text=”View More Info >>”]
