Portrush has the widest range of accommodation on the Causeway Coast, from a brand-new luxury property beside Royal Portrush Golf Club to smaller boutique hotels in the town centre. All of the following were confirmed currently operating directly against their own websites.
Dunluce Lodge
Opened in February 2025, Dunluce Lodge is a 35-suite luxury property overlooking the fourth fairway at Royal Portrush Golf Club, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. It’s the newest and most expensive option in Portrush by a clear margin, suites include Garden, Courtyard, Causeway and Portrush categories, with the largest, the Dunluce Suite, built around panoramic golf course views. Book directly via slh.com/hotels/dunluce-lodge.
The Marcus Portrush
A Hilton Tapestry Collection property, The Marcus Portrush occupies a restored Victorian building that operated as a hotel and artisan bakery for over 85 years between 1895 and the 1980s, brought back through an £11 million renovation that kept original features including mosaic signage and the tiled façade. It’s an 80-room hotel with a restaurant, bar, and 24-hour fitness centre, central and well suited to exploring the town on foot. Book via hilton.com.
Portrush Adelphi
Part of the Marine & Lawn golf hotel group, Portrush Adelphi is a 34-room boutique hotel aimed squarely at golf visitors, with double, deluxe king and family suite options. A smaller, quieter alternative to the two properties above, without the same scale of facilities. Book via marineandlawn.com/portrushadelphi.
Elephant Rock Hotel
An 18-room boutique hotel on the Ramore Head peninsula, Elephant Rock opened in spring 2022 in a converted Victorian terrace and was named one of the UK’s most stylish beach hotels by The Times in its first year. Three of Northern Ireland’s eight Blue Flag beaches are within walking distance. Smaller and more design-led than the larger hotels, with its own restaurant and two bars. Book via elephantrockhotel.co.uk.
Royal Court Hotel
Set on the cliffs at Whiterocks, a short drive from the town centre, the Royal Court Hotel overlooks Royal Portrush Golf Club with views toward the Giant’s Causeway and, on a clear day, Scotland. A smaller, family-run alternative to the town-centre hotels above, useful if you’d rather be closer to Whiterocks Beach than Portrush’s own harbour and restaurants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best area of Portrush to stay in? The town centre and harbour area puts restaurants and East Strand within walking distance; Whiterocks and Ramore Head are quieter but still close to the action.
Do I need to book far in advance? Yes, especially in July and August and during any golf event at Royal Portrush, rooms across all price points sell out well ahead of peak dates.
Is there budget accommodation in Portrush? Yes, guesthouses and B&Bs across the town centre sit well below the hotels listed above, check current listings on a booking platform for what’s available on your dates.
