Fairmont St Andrews Named European Golf Resort of the Year
The award is one of the most prestigious available to golf resorts, having recognized the quality of its facilities and service and been voted for by IAGTO's 400-plus golf tour operators in 58 countries.

It is the latest in a long line of accolades for the luxurious Scottish resort and comes hot on the heels of Fairmont St Andrews being named Golf Tourism Scotland's Resort Hotel of the Year for the third time in four years.

In recent years Fairmont St Andrews has benefited from a £17m investment which included extensive improvements throughout both of the resort's two highly regarded 18-hole golf courses, The Torrance and The Kittocks, refurbishment of the entire hotel and an extension to the leisure facilities to create a luxurious spa and fitness complex.

Since then the resort has hosted numerous prestigious events including final qualifying for the 2010 Open Championship, as well as being the venue for the last three Scottish Senior Opens.

During its 10-year history Fairmont St Andrews has accumulated a host of accolades for hospitality, golf, spa and cuisine, as well as welcoming some of the world's most powerful individuals as the venue for a G20 summit and Northern Ireland peace talks, while Prince William was a regular visitor and member of the spa and gym while studying at university.

The Fairmont St Andrews, ranked No. 18 in Conde Nast's Top 100 Golf Resorts in the World, sits on 520 acres of stunning open coastline overlooking the North Sea and the historic town of St Andrews. In addition to exceptional golf and a world-class spa, Fairmont St Andrews includes award-winning dining, luxurious guest accommodations and exceptional service, as well as unfettered access to the charms of St Andrews itself.
