SPA AT THE OLD COURSE HOTEL, ST. ANDREWS,
SCOTLAND, ANNOUNCED REFURBISHMENT PLANS
The Spa at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews,
Scotland has revealed plans to update its
existing spa facilities in time for the 2005
British Open. The refurbishment will take place
in three stages.
Stage
One: beginning August, 2002. The Old Course
Hotel will create 12 new treatment rooms on the
first floor of the hotel. Half of these rooms
will directly overlook the famous Old Course and
they will all have natural daylight. The new
treatment rooms will also be large enough to
provide treatments for couples and all will
include shower rooms. One of these rooms will
become a relaxation room for spa guests to use
prior and following treatments, and one will
become a space for alternative therapies such as
Reiki and Thai massage. The remaining 10 will
house treatments from La Prairie, Clarins and
Comfort Zone.
Stage
Two: beginning January 2003. This stage will
focus on a remodeling of the ground floor to
include a combined resistance and cardio
fitness area, new retail space and a new
reception area. This stage will include the
introduction of a fitness studio to provide our
guests with a variety of daily activities such
as morning and afternoon stretch, yoga, pilates,
boxfit, fitball and spinning. When weather
permits, we will be able to take these classes
outdoors. For example, the hotel will offer tai
chi on the West Sands beach (where Chariots of
Fire was filmed) or fitness walks along the Old
Course on Sundays, when it is closed to golfers.
Stage
Three: beginning late 2003. Stage three will see
the introduction of three to four unisex wet
rooms around the pool area, as well as an
indoor/outdoor street style spa cafe.
By the
end of 2003, the Spa at the Old Course Hotel
will become a holistic wellness spa retreat and
will include consultations such as nutrition and
supplements, lifestyle counseling, neuro-linguistic
programming, hypnotherapy and other determined
complimentary therapies, such as cranial sacral
therapy. New General Manager Jonathan Stapleton,
formerly general manager at
Champneys Health Resort & Spa in Tring, England,
notes “The spa will become a destination within
a destination, ideally suited to meeting the
needs of the international spa-goer and
providing spa packages which ensure a longer
stay in St. Andrews. By providing such a
world-class health retreat, we can demonstrate
that St. Andrews isn’t just for golfers!”
