And Houstoun House, in West Lothian, has been recognised in the honours after gaining consistently high ratings from guests.
The country, four star hotel has sweeping grounds which provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxing trip.
Just 40 minutes' drive from Edinburgh, the home-from-home was once visited by Mary Queen of Scots.
Inside the hotel, there are 73 rooms which blend luxury and character, with antique-filled feature bedrooms at the top of the tower offering an atmospheric experience.
Reviews praised Houstoun House - which is part of the Macdonald Hotels and Resorts portfolio - for its picturesque views, beautiful gardens, attentive service, fine food and warm, welcoming atmosphere.
As well as beautiful bedrooms, it boasts a tranquil spa and fully equipped leisure club, a fine-dining restaurant located in the historic 16th century tower and a vaulted bar in the hotel's characterful cellars.
Andrew Boe, general manager at Houstoun House, said: "As the world's largest travel guidance platform, Tripadvisor has unparalleled authority with travellers and diners.
"As such, it's a privilege to be recognised by Tripadvisor in this manner, based on reviews and ratings collected throughout the year.
'This award is testament to the care and quality which we live by here at Houstoun House, and we look forward to welcoming more guests through our doors this summer to showcase the service which makes our hotel so special.'
Other Macdonald hotels in Scotland include Crutherland House, in East Kilbride, Drumossie Hotel, in Inverness, and Spey Valley Resort, in Aviemore.
