While this may seem like a long journey for the characters to make, it is renowned as one of the top hotels in the world and so is fittingly fancy for a family of billionaires.
Those who have had the privilege of staying at Gleneagles will know that it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The three-storey category B listed building dates back to 1924 and includes over 200 rooms.
