The Marcus Hotel Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton will restore a Victorian building to its former glory as a hotel and is anticipated to mark the brand’s Northern Ireland debut in 2025
Once opened, The Marcus Hotel Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton is anticipated to be the only internationally branded hotel in the town, attracting travellers from across the globe looking to enjoy everything Northern Ireland has to offer.
The 80-room hotel will also boast a restaurant, bar and gym providing a welcome choice for visitors in an area with limited hotel capacity.
Portrush will also host the 153rd Open in 2025, marking the return of the famous golf tournament to Northern Ireland after its highly successful 2019 event. The Marcus hotel is situated within walking distance of Royal Portrush Golf Club.
Rajesh Rana, Director at Andras House, said: “I am very pleased to be commencing this exciting and high-profile project. We understand the importance of this building to the town of Portrush; with so much history and fond memories created here over the years, our architects and designers have responded by developing a scheme that will complement the old with the new. We start work in September 2023, and this investment of £11 million will undoubtedly be a flagship project for the area.”
