Old Course Hotel, Gold Resort & Spa Announces Sophisticated Fourth Floor Transformation

Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, one of Scotland’s most iconic luxury destinations, has announced an extensive interior renovation of its fourth floor, embodying the hotel's commitment to evolving while honouring its deep-rooted connection to St Andrews. 

Scheduled for completion in spring 2025, the refurbishment will enhance the celebrated Road Hole Restaurant, Road Hole Bar and Boardroom, alongside a redecoration of all suites and refined lighting upgrades in select bedrooms. The transformation carefully balances contemporary elegance with the warm, welcoming spirit of Scottish hospitality that defines the hotel. 

The project showcases Scottish craftsmanship, with a new interior design scheme that features rich, dark blue tones in the restaurant, transitioning seamlessly from day to night. Meanwhile, the Road Hole Bar will be adorned with sophisticated dark chocolate panelling, complemented by classic leather Chesterfield seating – each element carefully chosen to uphold the hotel’s exceptional standards and create lasting memories for guests. 

The redesign has been thoughtfully planned to showcase the hotel's remarkable views over the Old Course and West Sands Beach. Guests will find brand new intimate seating areas throughout the Road Hole Restaurant and Bar, ensuring these breathtaking vistas remain a focal point while offering a more enhanced dining experience. 

"This renovation exemplifies our ethos of being always evolving while remaining true to our roots," says Phyllis Wilkie, General Manager, Old Course Hotel Golf Resort & Spa. "As custodians of this remarkable location, we're creating sophisticated, comfortable spaces that better connect our guests with both each other and our spectacular home in St Andrews. Every design decision has been made with our commitment to sustainable practices and our community in mind." 

Throughout the renovation period, guests can continue to enjoy the hotel's exceptional dining experiences across various venues, each offering its own unique twist on Scottish hospitality: 

• Breakfast is served in The Conservatory and at The Duke's Bar & Restaurant
• Lunch options include The Conservatory, The Jigger Inn, Hams Hame, The Duke's Bar & Restaurant, and the Spa Café
• Dinner is available at The Conservatory, The Jigger Inn, and Hams Hame
• The traditional Afternoon Tea experience continues in The Conservatory
• Drinks can be enjoyed at the Swilcan Loft, The Jigger Inn, and Hams Hame, with daytime service available at The Duke's Bar & Restaurant and Spa Café until 4pm

This fourth-floor transformation is part of a broader series of enhancements at Old Course Hotel, including the upcoming renovation of the Kohler Waters Spa, set to begin in April to late summer 2025. The spa renovation will introduce new features such as an innovative snow and sauna cabin, upgraded facilities, and improved sustainability measures, further demonstrating the hotel’s commitment to innovation and excellence in guest experience.
