The Portrush Atlantic Hotel is located on Ireland’s north coast, in the heart of Portrush on the Causeway Coastal route a mere 5 minutes away from Royal Portrush Golf Club. The hotel is an excellent base from which to explore the coast and also as a hub from which to play Royal Portrush, Portstewart and Castlerock golf clubs, all of which are within a 25-minute drive. Many of Northern Ireland’s most famous visitor attractions are also nearby, with the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, the Dark Hedges (from Game of Thrones) and Bushmills Distillery only a short drive away. The hotel is also ideally located for the best of the Portrush nightlife, with the famous Harbour area just around the corner from the property.
The Portrush Atlantic is a 69 en-suite bedroom hotel, with many of the rooms overlooking the beautiful East Strand towards Scotland in the distance. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and decorated in a modern contemporary style with excellent facilities. All of the bedrooms afford guests complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities and large LED televisions with Freeview satellite available. There are a range of bedroom types available and the hotel, due to its proximity to many beautiful golf courses is well equipped with twin bedded rooms for golfers in particular.
The Porthole Bar and Restaurant on the ground floor is not only a great meeting place but is an award-winning food venue having collected several awards including Hotel Restaurant of the Year at the NI Food Awards. The hotel takes pride in the fact that it supports a significant number of local food suppliers such as Broughgammon Farm in Ballycastle, the North Coast Smokehouse for its fish and ‘dulse’ a specialized seaweed, and the Lacada Brewery for their beer battered catch of the day. The Porthole provides everything from light bites to main meals and is open all day round at the peak of the season. The bar also contains some local brews from the likes of the Lacada Brewery as well as more traditional lager, ales, and stouts.
The secret to the success of the Portrush Atlantic Hotel is location, location, location and this hotel has it as good as anyone in the golf world, located at the epicenter of Portrush.
