The much-anticipated Aa St Omer Hotel du Golf opens its doors from September 2008. On the European PGA Tournament course of Aa St Omer Golf Club, it’s only 110 miles from London and is the most exciting development in Northern France in over a decade.

Overlooking the manicured fairways of the golf course, the 54 bedrooms offer great style and panoramic views over the 18-hole golf course and Aa Valley. Of course, food and France go hand in hand and the hotel offers a restaurant serving classic dishes and a cosy bar. There’s a fitness room if you want to try and win the long driving competition or a billiards room if you’re more of a thinking player!

Already renowned for the warm welcome at the golf club, the hotel staff will only enhance that reputation. For après-golf, the nearby historic town of Saint Omer offers a good choice of eateries and typical shops and the courses and attractions of Wimereux, Arras, Dunkerque, Boulogne, Hardelot and Le Touquet are within easy driving distance.
