Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts has announced the upcoming opening of Portrush Adelphi, a 34-room hotel in the heart of the iconic seaside town after a major transformation.

Blending Marine & Lawn’s signature timeless style with a deep appreciation for local culture, Portrush Adelphi offers a "fresh chapter for a beloved landmark".

“We are delighted to expand Marine & Lawn’s footprint in Northern Ireland with the opening of Portrush Adelphi,” said Phillip Allen, President, Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts. “True to the brand’s mission, the town of Portrush is an iconic golf destination, making it a natural fit for our portfolio. Portrush is experiencing strong tailwinds with rising tourism, increased investment, and the upcoming 153rd Open.
"We’re proud to bring our distinct approach to hospitality to such a dynamic destination.” It is proud to also introduce The Red Sail Room, a brand-new, high-end Italian dining experience that blends authentic traditions with contemporary elegance, attracting hotel guests and locals alike. A spokesperson said: "The warm and modern dining room is adorned with oak leaf wallpaper and whitewashed wooden panelling.
"Oil paintings throughout the restaurant depict scenes of the local sea and coastline, while deep maroon velvet banquettes add a touch of elegance. The restaurant puts an emphasis on Italian dishes complemented by locally sourced ingredients. "An extensive list of Italian and complex world wines has been carefully curated to complement the menu.
" Portrush Adelphi is the sixth property in the Marine & Lawn collection and the second property in Northern Ireland, joining Slieve Donard in Newcastle. For more information about Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts, please visit www.marineandlawn.
