A hotel spa with history

A hotel with history is always a treat, and this one dates back to 1894. Named for its position on the West Coast of Scotland, it was designed by Glaswegian architects Salmon and Gillespie, and became a significant landmark on the area. It has had four stars to its name and its 89 guest rooms since 1912, and while it has been renovated and updated befitting contemporary hospitality, it retains a sense of heritage in its style, fabrics and ambience. This is a place with gravitas.

Game changing golf

The legendary Royal Troon Golf Club, a nine-time host of The Open, is visible from pretty much all parts of the property. It's not actually part of the property itself, but it's proximity is tantalising and guests can book to play (in advance). The presence of the golf course also marks something of a tradition in the region, which has close to 50 golf courses between Ayrshire and Arran.

An award-winning hotel restaurant

The aptly named Fairways restaurant overlooks the 18th hole at Royal Troon Golf Club. The award-winning restaurant has two AA Rosettes, and is particularly well known for its quintessentially Scottish fare. Afternoon tea is also a treat (with prerequisite champagne preferably).
