Two awards. One very proud team.

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news from the 10th annual Scottish Enterprise Awards 2026, a decade of recognising the ambition, innovation and achievements of businesses across Scotland.

For the second year running, Destiny Scotland has been recognised, and this year we’re incredibly proud to receive two awards:

🏆 Best Serviced Apartment Operator 2026 – Edinburgh

🏆 Guest Experience Excellence Award 2026 – Edinburgh

The Guest Experience Excellence Award is particularly special to us. Creating a great stay is about so much more than the apartment itself. It’s about giving our guests the freedom and comfort of a home, combined with the reassurance and care of a professional team.

These awards are recognition of the people behind every stay, from our housekeeping and reservations teams to operations and everyone working behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to our wonderful team, and to every guest who has stayed with us, shared a review, recommended us or returned to Edinburgh with us.

To be recognised during the 10th year of the Scottish Enterprise Awards makes this achievement even more special.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of Edinburgh’s hospitality community and to continue doing what we love, creating great places to stay in our favourite city.
