The Marcus Hotel will turn a Victorian structure, which was previously a hotel and artisan bakery for more than 85 years between 1895 and the 1980s, back into a hotel with a renovation project, which will cost £11m ($14.15m).
Andras House director Rajesh Rana said: “We understand the importance of this building to the town of Portrush. With so much history and fond memories created here over the years, our architects and designers have responded by developing a scheme that will complement the old with the new.
“We will start work in September 2023 and this investment of £11m will undoubtedly be a flagship project for the area.”
The new Marcus Hotel Portrush will also include a café, a bar and a restaurant.
