The Fairmont St Andrews has recently been renovated with a fresh and stylish new interior design by RPW Design. The guest rooms, suites and public areas including entrance, reception, lobby, bar, and impressive atrium which also houses the main hotel restaurant have all had a dramatic facelift with deep sophisticated tones echoing the local setting and landscape character. The Client Kennedy Wilson and operator were open-minded and supportive of the design from the start and the finished product is a testament to the project team collaboration, which included Project Managers Fitzsimons and local Architects Hurd Rolland.

The guest experience has significantly changed with a moody and thoughtful interior embracing rich materials, furniture, and artwork. The lighting responds by accenting the interesting features and concealing lighting to expose interest, depth, and drama from the hotel entry to the restaurant atrium. Within the 50M atrium, the key feature is the Zephyr Chandelier by George Singer (meaning soft gentle breeze) which fills the space with soft kinetics and shadows created by layers of lighting from both above and below. Colour has been utilised for parties and events as the Atrium doubles as a huge event space when not used as a Restaurant and Lounge.
