A grand legacy restored
Opened in 1895 as Scotland’s most luxurious hotel, Hamilton Grand was the first in the country to feature hot and cold running water in every room and the first with an elevator. Over the years it welcomed royalty, politicians, Hollywood stars and Open champions before serving as wartime housing for pilots and later student accommodation for the prestigious University of St Andrews. After falling into disrepair in the early 2000s, the building was carefully restored by the owners of the Old Course Hotel - Kohler Co. - returning this historic landmark to its former splendour.
