The iconic Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa in St Andrews is currently undergoing a series of renovation works to the hotel, including the introduction of a penthouse, new guest rooms, an additional restaurant and bar, as well as refurbished events spaces, and is set for completion in July 2021 ahead of The Open in 2022 which will be held on the Old Course.
Following renovations, the hotel will boast 175 rooms, with the introduction of a third floor in the ‘Champions Wing’ and the addition of 31 new rooms, overlooking the Old Course. A penthouse will also be added to the fourth floor, which will be the only room with a private lift and balcony, outdoor seating and fire pit, with spectacular views overlooking West Sands Beach and the golf course. The luxurious interiors will feature wood panelling, a central fireplace, a private dining area for eight guests, with parquet flooring throughout, and a free-standing bath in the bedroom.
Helen McBride, general manager, Old Course Hotel, Golf & Spa, commented on the renovations: “After an incredibly challenging year for hospitality, we are excited to unveil our multi-million refurbishment plans that are currently underway at the Old Course Hotel. As one of the UK’s top hotels we already have an exceptional five-star offering for our guests but we are excited to further strengthen the hotel’s facilities this summer and welcome guests back to the hotel from the end of April.
“The new restaurant and bar will be a particularly exciting offering, which will truly add to St Andrews’ culinary scene. These renovations have enabled Old Course Hotel to adapt to ever-changing customer demands and competitive landscapes, which has become increasingly important over the past year.”
