Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Turnberry
Trump Turnberry Hotel ScotlandFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Turnberry and chose one: a luxury hotel above the Ailsa Course, which hosted four Open Championships between 1977 and 2009. What that means for booking is below.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
One luxury hotel in Turnberry – and who it suits
Our choice for Turnberry is the Trump Turnberry Hotel Scotland on the South Ayrshire coast. In our ranking it stands at 4.3 out of 5, and a night starts at 346 euros.
Why we recommend it: Because the Ailsa Course belongs to it – a par-71 links right on the coast whose ninth tee sits by the Turnberry lighthouse and which hosted four Open Championships between 1977 and 2009, among them the 1977 duel between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. There is a suite inside the lighthouse itself. Offshore lies Ailsa Craig, the granite rock the stones for curling were quarried from. Culzean Castle is five kilometres away. Our recommended category is called Deluxe King.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
A rare view of sea and golf course at once – from the suite in the lighthouse.
This hotel offers 17 categories, six of them suites. What separates them is, for once, not square metres. Here the distinction runs through the view.
And that is unusually cleanly distributed:
• seven categories look over the resort – the Deluxe, Premium and Deluxe Family rooms
• seven categories look out to sea – two rooms, three suites and the two Norman suites
• one category looks over sea and golf course at once: the Lighthouse Suite
That double view of sea and golf course is rare – and it belongs to the suite in the lighthouse.
Two more things for the booking. First the recommended category: it is called Deluxe King. The list carries Deluxe rooms looking over the resort; the word King describes the bed, not the category. Second the programme: this hotel belongs to no frequent-traveller programme. What applies instead are the six benefits that sit on every category.
Our advice: book by the view. At this hotel the view is the currency, not the floor area.
Where to stay in Turnberry: above the Ailsa Course on the Ayrshire coast
The Trump Turnberry Hotel Scotland stands on the South Ayrshire coast – two kilometres from the lighthouse, five from Culzean Castle, 20 from Ayr, 27 from Prestwick airport, 67 from Glasgow airport and 71 from central Glasgow.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone coming to play – and for those driving the Ayrshire coast who want to sleep by the sea.
What lies within reach: the Turnberry lighthouse, two kilometres, built on the remains of a medieval castle; Culzean Castle, five kilometres, a Robert Adam hotel on a cliff above the sea; and Ailsa Craig, the rock in the Firth of Clyde whose granite makes practically every curling stone in the world.
On arrival: Prestwick airport is 27 kilometres away, Glasgow 67. From Glasgow it is a good hour down the coast.
17 categories, three outlooks: the best hotel in Turnberry from the inside
The Trump Turnberry Hotel Scotland offers 17 categories, six of them suites.
The rooms: three Deluxe, two Premium and two Deluxe Family – all seven looking over the resort; plus two rooms with a sea view and a Turnberry Room and a Family Room.
The suites: three with a sea view, two Norman suites also to the sea – and the Lighthouse Suite, the only category at this hotel looking over sea and golf course at once.
Our travel advisors settle the size before booking.
On the view: this hotel’s motifs are the sea and the resort – and the rare view joining the sea with the golf course belongs to the suite in the lighthouse.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, 100 US dollars hotel credit per stay, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability and no minimum stay.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Turnberry costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Turnberry starts at 346 euros.
Bookings start at one night. Included are: breakfast for two, 100 US dollars hotel credit, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability and early check-in and late check-out.
When it is loveliest: from May to September, when the days are long and play runs until nine in the evening.
What belongs to Ayrshire: the wind. A links course on an open coast never plays the same on two days – that is the appeal, and the reason the Ailsa has a name among players.
When to ask early: in July and August and whenever a major tournament is running in Scotland.
How long to stay: two to three nights – a day on the Ailsa Course, a day on the coast, an evening at the lighthouse.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
A lighthouse at the ninth tee and exclusive services – the alternative to a 5-star hotel
Turnberry belongs to South Ayrshire, and its history is the history of the course: the first links was laid out in 1901, the hotel built in 1906, the ground became an airfield in both world wars and a golf course again afterwards. The lighthouse of 1873 stands on the remains of Turnberry Castle.
