Turnberry Resort - A 20th Century Building with a 21st Century Audio System

Turnberry has a long golfing heritage that all started back in 1901, when the first formal course was constructed. Since then its fairways have been shared by the game's elite and enthusiasts from all over the world. Turnberry is so important in the golfing world that it has held The Open Championship four times; most recently in 2009.

In 1997 the hotel was bought by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. and operated under the Westin Brand until October 2008, at which point Leisurecorp, Dubai World's sport and leisure subsidiary, purchased the resort, with Starwood Hotels & Resorts continuing to manage operations under the The Luxury Collection brand.

With the change of ownership, an extensive £30 million restoration began. Led by interior designer Mary Fox Linton, the renovation will return the 103-year-old hotel to the original vision of its architect, James Miller, keeping the red-roofed Turnberry Resort in its rightful place as one of the world's top hotels for years and years to come. Phase one of this extensive refurbishment targeted the public spaces, and selected bedrooms in order to open to the world's press and media in time for The Open 2009.
