Peter Greenberg Worldwide—Gleneagles Hotel, Auchterarder, Scotland—February 21, 2015

gleneaglesThis week, Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from the legendary Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Scotland. This 90-year-old hotel, located about 90 miles from Edinburgh, is a treasure trove of great stories and experiences, ranging from sporting clays to an off-road driving school to falconry. But let’s not forget single malt and….golf.

Joining us this week is Pauline Frommer, Editorial Director of Frommer’s Travel Guides, who reports on how hotels are preventing theft with tracking devices—even on towels. She also talks about a new Japanese hotel run completely by robots, and explains how we are inching closer to that model. Then, Editor-in-Chief of Jetsetter Sean Murphy details new cell phone technology that is turning them into remote controls for hotels.

The Gleneagles Hotel’s own Whisky Ambassador will explain the difficulty of creating a good whisky blend, and last but not least, we learn about the art and history of falconry. All of this and more is on this week’s broadcast of Peter Greenberg Worldwide from The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Scotland.
