Trump Turnberry hotel on the South Ayrshire coast in Scotland has re-opened its doors today following a £200m restoration.
The eight-month project has included the renovation of the property’s Ailsa Championship golf course, the remodelling of all guest rooms, suites and the hotel’s bars and restaurants.
Work on the 103-bedroom hotel has also included the restoration of the Turnberry Lighthouse, which has been converted into a £3,500 per-night two bedroom presidential suite, and the addition of a 500-person grand ballroom – the Donald J. Trump Ballroom.
Donald Trump, who owns the hotel, threatened to withhold £700m worth of investment in Scotland – including the £200m refurbishment of the Trump Turnberry hotel – if he was barred from the UK, following a petition that was signed by more than 586,000 people.
A ceremonial ribbon cutting of the property will take place on 24 June – a day after the EU referendum – which Trump is expected to attend.
Manager of the hotel, Ralph Porciani, said: “We have always known that the newly renovated Trump Turnberry would be among the finest hotels anywhere in the world. The Trump Organisation has spared no expense – it is a genuine masterpiece.
“Guests can expect an opulent and very private experience at Trump Turnberry, which is hidden away in a richly historic landscape with breathtaking views. No request will be too great, and no detail too small.”
