Fairmont St Andrews gets back in the swing

SCOTLAND’S largest hotel event space has been refurbished at a cost of more than £1million. The five-star Fairmont St Andrews took seven weeks to update its Ballroom and 14 meetings and events rooms – an area totalling 3,000m2.

Owner Accor began a programme of improvements at the hotel in 2016 with work on the atrium and corridors. This was followed by the spa complex and sports bar last year, with the events facilities completing the project.

General Manager John Keating says: “We look forward to welcoming local, national and international businesses of all sizes. The changes have breathed new life into the resort.” The flexible space at the hotel and golf resort can cater for groups of 10 to 600 guests.
