City hotel guide
Portrush
Portrush, located on the north coast of County Antrim, is a charming seaside resort built primarily on the Ramore Head peninsula. This compact area serves as the ideal base for frequent hotel travelers, housing the majority of accommodations, dining options, and bars within walking distance. The town is renowned for its three sandy beaches—West Strand, East Strand, and White Rocks—and the prestigious Royal Portrush Golf Club, the only club outside Great Britain to host The Open Championship multiple times (1951, 2019, 2025). Its proximity to Portstewart and scenic coastal views make it a prime destination for leisure and golf enthusiasts seeking convenience and atmosphere.
