A Scots hotel has been named among the 100 best new hotels in the world.
The hotel features in the 2023 'It List' published by popular New York-based magazine Travel + Leisure.
The 18th edition of the annual list ranks recognises the new and renovated hotels across the globe that have made the biggest impressions on Travel + Leisure editors and contributors.
The selected hotels span 37 countries across six continents and represent a variety of categories such as beach getaways, affordable luxury, wellness resorts, luxury city hotels, and more.
Among the 32 hotels in Europe to make the list is Gleneagles Townhouse in Edinburgh's St Andrew Square.

The 33-bedroom hotel, which opened in June last year, features an all-day restaurant, roof terrace and members’ club.
Travel + Leisure commented that "a youthful spirit presides" in the hotel, "with a warm and friendly staff, contemporary art in the public spaces, and a bright color palette at the Spence, the hotel’s all-day restaurant".
Commenting on the 2023 'It List', Jacqui Gifford, Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure, said: "With a global group of honorees ranging from a mountain retreat in Morocco to a reimagined Miami icon, our annual It List is packed with hotels that are worth planning your trip around.
"This list is meticulously curated and researched, and we're excited to share what earned these properties a spot on the coveted list."
Only two other hotels in the UK, London's The Twenty Two and The Fox at Oddington in Moreton-in-Marsh, made the list.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
