Royal Ascot becomes latest golf club to link with Fairmont

Royal Ascot has become the third major UK golf club to form a partnership with global luxury hotel chain Fairmont in the last two months.

In May, The Mere Golf Resort & Spa in Cheshire announced that it is to be rebranded as a Fairmont venue.

In June, Luton Hoo Hotel, Golf & Spa said it will also become a Fairmont Hotels & Resorts branded property.

Royal Ascot has now announced that it is to form a partnership with Fairmont Windsor Park to offer guests a stay and play package in the Berkshire countryside.

The ‘Royal Golf Getaway experience’ gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a round of golf at the prestigious course while staying in the opulent surroundings of Fairmont Windsor Park.

In addition to an overnight stay in one of the hotel’s luxuriously appointed bedrooms, the offer includes breakfast at the exquisite MOREISH restaurant and private transport to and from the historic course.

It is a partnership based on shared values and a dedication to delivering exquisite, memorable experiences and forms part of our broader growth strategy.”
