An exercise studio will feature Precor cardio equipment while a rooftop deck will include relaxation space, an open-air pole shower and a whirlpool for eight people.

Kohler acquired the 178-room Old Course Hotel in October 2004 for £37m. Since then, its investment programme has included redesigning 17 of the hotel’s 32 suites as well as refurbishing and extending the existing spa.
The company, which was founded in 1873 as a kitchen and bathroom products manufacturer, also operates a resort in the village of Kohler, Wisconsin, USA, including the AAA Five Diamond American Club hotel, the Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses and the Kohler Waters Spa.
