Kohler Waters Spa on track for March launch

The new Kohler Waters Spa at the Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa at St Andrews, Scotland will open in mid-March 2006.

Designed by Corporate Edge, the 13,600sq ft (1,265sq m) spa will feature 11 treatment rooms, including two with bathing units, one with a vichy shower and two with Kohler showers.

There will also be a thermal suite with a hydrotherapy pool, a plunge pool, Japanese salt steamroom, a sauna with light therapy and a 65ft indoor swimming pool with an 8ft waterfall.

Other new features include a rooftop deck featuring a relaxation space, an open-air pole shower and a whirlpool.

US-based Kohler acquired the 178-room hotel for £37m in October 2004. Since then, it has embarked upon a large-scale redevelopment of the property including redesigning the hotel’s suites as well as the spa refurbishment. Details: www.destinationkohler.com
