The Gleneagles Hotel has launched The Gleneagles Arena, its new £750k, 2,500sq m indoor tennis and event space.
The Gleneagles Arena will provide a 2,250-capacity events venue in the heart of Scotland, suitable for all kinds of corporate events and live entertainment.
The four indoor tennis courts are open to both hotel residents and members of the public, and a variety of lessons and coaching programmes are offered.
Bernard Murphy (pictured), Gleneagles’ Managing Director, commented, “With its long and illustrious golfing heritage, Gleneagles already has a reputation as a world-class sporting venue.
'Our guests can choose from around 20 different outdoor activities, from falconry, to off-road driving, to archery. Now we hope to add another string to our bow and establish Gleneagles as one of Scotland’s premier event and tennis destinations.
“The Arena has fantastic potential as a venue for large-scale events. We’ve already had a lot of interest from event planners for everything from corporate celebrations, to exhibitions, to concerts. It’s such a large space that it provides a great blank canvas for organisers to create something really ambitious.
“We hope this new development will help us build on the success of last year’s Ryder Cup to bring even more diverse and exciting events to Gleneagles.”
