The Gleneagles Hotel has unveiled ambitious plans for a new investment worth £650,000.
Fresh from their Ryder Cup success, bosses at the five-star establishment want to create the Gleneagles Arena, a 26,910 sq ft indoor tennis centre and events space.
An equestrian area within the 850-acre estate will be transformed as part of the project, which promises a versatile event hall which will double as a four-court tennis complex.
The centre could be up and running as early as spring next year and will be available for conferences, exhibitions, concerts and team-building sessions.
Gleneagles’ director of events and leisure, Stuart Smith, said the project would also include 650 spectator seats, as well as a new combined reception and retail area.
“After celebrating our 90th anniversary and hosting the Ryder Cup, this has been one of the most memorable years in Gleneagles’ history,” he said.
“We are delighted we’ll be able to keep the momentum going in 2015 with the launch of this fantastic new space.
“Tennis is a booming sport and one that we know many of our guests enjoy.”
