Stepping into the Old Course Hotel, you feel an immediate connection to the history and charm of St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf. Situated along the iconic 17th hole of the Old Course, the hotel combines timeless elegance with modern luxury. Whether you're a golfer or not, the views of the course and West Sands Beach are breathtaking, especially at sunrise when the mist rolls in over the fairways.Inside, the décor blends classic Scottish touches — think sparsely placed tartan fabrics and rich wood — with contemporary design. Rooms and suites are spacious, many offering private balconies and views of the course or the town’s medieval skyline. Kohler Waters Spa is a standout, with hydrotherapy pools and signature treatments designed to rejuvenate.
Dining here is an experience in itself, from the esteemed Road Hole Restaurant (editor’s note: the establishment and its bar are closed for renovations), featuring locally sourced ingredients and an impressive whisky collection, to the laid-back Jigger Inn, steeped in character and history.
