Trump resort plans gushing welcome for guests in multi-million pound renovation

-

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort has unveiled plans to build another massive fountain to greet guests.

The tycoon’s family want to erect a Roman water feature outside the entrance to a new-look spa as part of a multi-million pound renovation project.

The latest monument will be a three-tiered cast stone fountain with a Roman goddess figure on top of it. The feature will also have a pool surround.

The project will involve lopping down a tree that currently sits at the entrance to the existing spa.

Extravagan­t plans for the Ayrshire resort’s spa include a waterfall at the swimming pool, a new Finnish sauna and a salt inhalation room. It will also boast Roman-style heated relaxation rooms, a Rasul mud treatment area and hydrothera­py ‘experience showers’.

The plans have been submitted to South Ayrshire Council. Mr Trump has already spent more than £200,000 on two new fountains at Turnberry since taking ownership in 2014.

Mr Trump, who also built the Menie golf resort in Aberdeensh­ire, resigned as a director of companies linked to his Scottish golf courses just before his inaugurati­on as US president last month.

His eldest sons Donald and Eric have taken over control of his golf resorts in Aberdeensh­ire and Ayrshire.
