Scotland’s five star Seaton House hotel has officially finished construction and is now preparing to unveil its grand opening in March.
Glasgow-based construction and fit-out specialist Pacific Building commenced work on the hotel in March 2024 and officially completed works on 17 February.
Located near the first tee and 18th green of the Old Course at St Andrews Golf Club, the hotel comprises 42 luxury bedrooms, including six suites and three junior suites. It will employ 60 staff.
Interior design firm Upperworth Studios has incorporated an element of Seaton House’s original designer, George Rae, into the hotel’s room numbers, while the Rae family tartan has been used in some of the hotel’s furnishings.
Thistles and stag heads feature throughout the place and are embroidered into pillows and bed throws, while artists from the UK have produced original oil abstract artworks displayed throughout the hotel.
Seaton House will also provide a range of dining options headlined by chef patron Roy Brett, across its bar and two restaurants – The Board Room and Ondine Oyster and Grill.
Michael Davern, Seaton House general manager, said: “As the opening draws ever closer, we are delighted that our shared ambition has become a reality, and Seaton House is, once again, the perfect location for valued guests to immerse themselves in St Andrews’ charm.
“Now the hotel has officially been handed over, we can continue to fine tune our preparations for welcoming guests and providing truly unique and memorable experiences.”
Gerard McMahon, managing director, Pacific Building, added: “As a Scottish construction company that exists to build great things, it was a privilege to have worked on Seaton House. This property will become one of Scotland’s leading hotels and it’s a special feeling to know we played a central role in its delivery.
“With a firm focus on striving for the best possible finish and using the finest materials possible, I’ve no doubt that Seaton House will be the first choice for many seeking to stay at the home of golf.”
