It's now that golden time of year when friends and family plan their October break or a magical festive getaway and there's no better place to escape to than the five star Fairmont St Andrews.

Set on a 520 acre estate with a unique coastal setting, our 209 bedroom hotel is the perfect location to turn your stay into a treasured family memory.

Fairmont St Andrews recently completed a major refurbishment program. Voted in the Condé Nast Traveler readers' poll as 18th in the World's Top 100 Golf Resorts, this £13.5m renovation further enhances Fairmont St Andrews five star global reputation for leisure, golf, spa and conference facilities.

Experience the ultimate sense of arrival with our elegant, newly designed reception area consisting of warm colours, striking paintings, inviting fireplace and plush carpets. All public areas, including the lobby, Atrium and Squire Restaurant have been impressively refurbished.

We have unveiled 115 sumptuous, elegantly furnished bedrooms and luxury suites featuring warm colour palates and local design features.

Kittocks Den, our seductive and relaxing lobby bar, has been refurbished with stylish sofas and rich interior furnishings - a perfect place to lounge in. This complements our recently opened lively sports-themed bar, The Rock and Spindle, with pool table, darts and LCD televisions.

We are also delighted to announce the launch of our signature Fairmont Spa, the essence of total tranquility.

The Spa combines style and elegance indulging both body and soul with our luxurious Spa treatments.

Enjoy a broad range of locally-themed massages, facial and relaxation therapies featuring exclusive Kerstin Florian treatments in our twelve chic treatment rooms.

For those seeking a more vigorous experience, the newly refurbished Health Club includes state-of-the-art fitness equipment with personal televisions, a 16 metre swimming pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi and designated studio for yoga and spinning.

Fairmont St Andrews is proud to be Scotland's largest resort hotel conference facility which has also been refurbished to offer more space and flexibility for all sizes of events.

The resort is also home to two renowned world-championship golf courses, the Torrance and the Kittocks. The Torrance is currently closed for remediation work due to re-open in 2009 and will be an Open Qualifying Course in 2010. The Kittocks Course (previously known as the Devlin) remains open as normal.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland to showcase our superb new facilities. Whether you're looking to get away from the hustle of the city, a golfers retreat, a girls' weekend away, a business conference, something for that special occasion or just a breakaway for the entire family, Fairmont St Andrews is the perfect haven to escape to.
