ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Description: Opened in the summer of 2001, Fairmont St Andrews has brought something very different to the array of excellent accommodation options in St Andrews. Unlike the other hotels in the area, Fairmont St Andrews is a large, modern five-star hotel and the fact that it has two superb golf courses (Devlin and Torrance) on-site, only adds to its attraction. Situated just outside the town of St Andrews, the hotel sits on the summit of a spectacular formation and commands superb views of the River Tay Estuary, North Sea and the medieval skyline of St Andrews.
Fairmont St Andrews is a large hotel and it boasts some 209 guestrooms, comprising a range of twin rooms, king size rooms and suites. All of the rooms offer the very latest in modern amenities from DVD and CD players to luxurious bathtubs, separate showers, bathrobes and mini bar facilities. There is an excellent selection of restaurants at Fairmont St Andrews and depending on their mood, guests can choose from any of four options. Named after Gene Sarazen, The Squire Restaurant is the main restaurant but Kittock's Den, The Atrium, the Clubhouse and the new Rock and Spindle Sports Bar, offer great alternatives
There is no doubt that the main attraction of Fairmont St Andrews to the golfer lies in its two magnificent championship courses. And you should banish any thoughts that these courses are merely filler-inners - both are excellent courses and both worth playing in their own right. Apart from the on-site golf courses, Fairmont St Andrews is an ideal base from which to play the great St Andrews courses and is also perfectly located for playing the likes of Kingsbarns and Crail. Another major plus of staying here is the range of leisure facilities available. Guests can take a leisurely swim, relax in the sauna or steam room or enjoy a massage in the new £2.5 million refurbished spa, opening in the summer of 2008
ONLINE GOLF TRAVEL RATING
St Andrews Bay offers something different. It may be a modern facility with no immediate sense of history but from a quality perspective, it is a great option. And with two on-site golf courses, staying here ties in well with balloting for the Old Course.
Situated approximately two miles southeast of the town of St. Andrews on the A917 route to Kingsbarns and Crail.
