SCHLOSS Roxburghe, part of Destination by Hyatt

Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders an hour outside of Edinburgh, luxury meets the rugged romance of the countryside at SCHLOSS Roxburghe, part of Destination by Hyatt. A stay at this 300-acre estate, formerly owned by the Duke of Roxburghe, feels like stepping back in time. Upon arrival, the sweeping driveway, lined with centuries-old trees, opens to a magnificent 12th-century manor, steeped in history yet impeccably restored. The grandeur of its stone façade contrasts beautifully with its warm, modern interiors — think crackling fireplaces, tartan accents and other nods to its Scottish heritage.Rooms and suites blend stately elegance with contemporary comfort, offering views of rolling countryside or the estate’s championship golf course. Outdoor pursuits abound, from salmon fishing to clay pigeon shooting to brisk walks through the estate’s picturesque grounds. For relaxation, the spa is a sanctuary of serenity, featuring treatments inspired by local botanicals. Dining showcases the country’s rich bounty, with menus at Scottish bistro Charlie’s and fine dining Sunlaws drawing from the estate’s gardens, while the and whisky-forward Bar 1745 and the relaxed State Room Lounge round out the offerings.
