A new five-star boutique hotel in St Andrews is set to bring in more than 60 jobs to the area when it opens early next year.
Seaton House, which is situated near the first tee of the iconic Old Course in the town, will generate a huge boost for the local economy.
The hotel’s operators, Valor Hospitality Partners, confirmed six management roles that are currently being advertised will be joined by another 56 people to work in the hotel.
When the name and first look photos of the hotel were first revealed in December last year, it was hoped it would open by the end of this year. However, it will be 2025 before it launches.
The 42 luxury bedroom boutique hotel will include five suites and three junior suites while promising to offer five-star luxury hospitality in St Andrews.

Dating back to 1864, it was once known as the Scores Hotel but this will now revert back to the building’s original name in a bid to preserve a piece of the town’s history.
Michael Davern, General Manager of Seaton House said: “As the reopening of this local landmark draws ever closer, we are excited to be assembling a wonderful team.
“Working at Seaton House offers the chance to be a part of something truly special and to work alongside the amazing people at Valor Hospitality.
“We will be offering a variety of roles, some of which will allow members of the local community an exciting opportunity to start their hospitality career path. Everyone working at Seaton House will play a crucial role in creating memorable experiences for our guests.”
