The Kithmore brand has been developed by global hospitality agency Crown Creative with the design created in collaboration with local St Andrews architects RKA, alongside Scottish interior design studio ICA.
Kathryn McNairn, General Manager of The Kithmore, said: 'We're excited to share the name of our new hotel – The Kithmore. Inspired by the Scots word 'kith', meaning friendship and familiarity, it's a name that reflects everything we hope the hotel will be – a warm, welcoming place for golfers, tourists and our local community.
"The Kithmore brings boutique luxury to Playfair Terrace, with a range of rooms – from cosy and comfort options to spacious suites.

"So whether you're rolling in after a day on the links, catching up with friends, or simply looking for a quiet corner and a great dram – my team and I can't wait to welcome you to The Kithmore!"
