The aparthotel has reached the final of the Boutique Hotel of the Year category in the ninth annual industry awards

In this episode we speak to Daniel Kyriakides, a partner at law firm Reed Smith. We discuss why private members’ clubs are experiencing a resurgence and what that means for the future of the hotel sector. From heritage buildings being reimagined as lifestyle destinations to hotels borrowing the experiential playbook of members’ clubs, we discuss how the lines between the two are becoming increasingly blurred, and why global growth is on the horizon for the private members club model.

King Street Aparthotel has been shortlisted for the Boutique Hotel of the Year title at the 9th Scottish Hospitality Awards 2026. 

The 15-room property, situated in a restored building on King Street, is one of several businesses selected for the final by organisers Oceanic Awards.

The site features individual suites that combine original architectural features with modern interiors. Managing director Neil Munday founded the business with a focus on design-led accommodation and heritage restoration.

It also uses local suppliers and collaborates with independent businesses in Stirling, whilst providing support to local charities and artists.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony held at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Glasgow on 17 June 2026. The awards recognise excellence across the Scottish hospitality sector, including hotels, restaurants, and bars.

Members of the public can vote for the finalists online until the date of the ceremony. The category for boutique hotels is one of 19 areas being contested this year.

Neil Munday said: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as a finalist. For us, boutique is about more than aesthetics, it’s about creating a meaningful, memorable experience. From restoring a historic building to supporting our community and delivering thoughtful design, everything we do is centred around offering something truly special.

“Every vote helps amplify what independent, design-led hospitality can achieve. We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from our guests and the local community.”
