North coast hotel wins five-star rating from Tourism NI

The hotel was opened in February by US owners Links Collection Capital ahead of the Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club this month. It is operated by global company Valor Hospitality in its first Northern Ireland project. The hotel, which overlooks Royal Portrush's fourth fairway, has 35 suites. According to Tourism NI's quality grading scheme, 'upon inspection, the bedrooms were found to be spacious and finished to an exceptional standard while the restaurant demonstrated superb interior design'. It added that 'staff were found to be friendly and courteous with high levels of hospitality and service provided'. David Roberts, director of strategic development at Tourism NI, said: 'Tourism NI is delighted to award Dunluce Lodge a five-star accommodation grading. 'This is a thoroughly well-deserved award, testament to the exceptionally high-quality facilities and services on offer to guests. 'I have no doubt the bespoke hospitality experiences this hotel offers will increase Northern Ireland's popularity as a destination for the lucrative golf and luxury segments of the tourism market.' Stephen Meldrum, general manager of Dunluce Lodge, said it was 'thrilled' at the five-star rating. 'From the very beginning our intention has been to provide a new level of genuine Irish hospitality on the Causeway Coast and the awarding of five-star status is testament to the exceptional service we provide for our guests in luxurious surroundings. 'Looking ahead, we want to be constantly evolving and setting new standards. We already have exciting plans to further develop our spa offering and complement our packages with a series of wellness experiences. This is just the beginning for Dunluce Lodge.' Dunluce Lodge is among a wave of new high-quality accommodation to open on the north coast ahead of the Open. Marine & Lawn, which also owns the Slieve Donard in Co Down, unveiled its revamped Adelphi Hotel Portrush earlier this year. And Andras House opened the Marcus Hotel, a Tapestry Collection by Hilton venue, last week.
