Dunluce Lodge, Northern Ireland’s newest five-star hotel, has marked a major milestone as it counts down towards its grand opening in February, after contractors officially handed over the luxury property.
With 35 luxury suites, including eight in The Stookan – its private annex for larger groups – Dunluce Lodge will also have a restaurant, wine vault, private dining spaces and a spa when it opens this February.
“As Dunluce Lodge began to emerge from behind the scaffolding, we knew it was going to be a building which exudes charm and provides our valued guests with the perfect location to immerse in the breath-taking beauty of the Causeway Coast," said Stephen Meldrum, general manager at Dunluce Lodge.
“Now the hotel has officially been handed over we can continue to fine tune our preparations for welcoming guests and providing truly unique and memorable experiences.”
Ballymena based building and civil engineering company, Martin & Hamilton Construction, commenced work on the hotel, which is based on the Causeway Coast just outside Portrush, in November 2022, with the handover having taken place this week.
The hotel overlooks the fourth fairway at Royal Portrush Golf Club which will host the 153rd Open Championship in July.
“We have worked in close collaboration with the team at Martin & Hamilton and we have been very impressed by their professional approach to the project," said Meldrum. “Their eye for detail and commitment to sourcing the finest materials available matched our own high standards during the construction process."
He added, "The team shared our vision for meticulously creating a truly impeccable five-star hotel where every detail has been carefully considered."
