With the return of The Open leading to soaring hotel and accommodation prices in St Andrews, the Fairmont hotel introduced luxury glamping options.
The five-star hotel said there was “unprecedented demand” ahead of the tournament’s return to the home of golf this week.
So it opened bookings for unique accommodation – a vintage Airstream, an American brand of caravan easily recognized by its rounded and polished aluminium.
It costs £2,400 for three nights during The Open.
The hotel also has a bell tent glamping experience in its grounds for the weekend. This costs £1,350.
Guests will have access to showers and toilet units onsite and full access to leisure and spa facilities.
In the morning, they can have a full Scottish breakfast in the hotel’s Squire restaurant.
Fairmont St Andrews accommodation ‘beyond front door’
Fairmont said: “It is the first time we’ve expanded our accommodation offering beyond the front door.
“One, two, or three-night stays are available.
“Occupancy ranges from one to four people, with all the amenities, restaurants and bars that Fairmont has to offer on the doorstep.”
The new offer comes as the average nightly price of accommodation in St Andrews during the 150th championship is into four figures.
