Marcus Hotel Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

I had been looking forward for an excuse to try the new Hilton affiliated hotel in Portrush since it opened during the summer. As a Hilton diamond member for more than 10 years, I’m lucky to experience Hilton hotels very regularly across the world, but my goodness what a pleasure it was to stay here for a night while meeting friends for a few drinks. Remembering what was there before, arriving into the reception area was like entering a different planet! Check in was seamless, and my diamond status was recognised with an upgrade to a deluxe room, and when I arrived in my beautifully appointed room, there was a lovely bottle of Merlot to greet me! Thank you! The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was stunning with high end fittings. One of the reasons I stay with Hilton is their mattresses and pillows - the best ever, and no different here. Before hitting the town I had a pint of Guinness in the heritage cocktail bar - very comfortable bar, great service, a nice pint! I also enjoyed a cocktail at the of the night, again high end service! The highlight of the stay was breakfast! Such a lovely room, but where was the buffet?! There wasn’t one.. there was an al a carte menu! Wow! Game changer! My full Irish was fab, and both the host and chef were friendly and charming! Looks like I’ll have a need to be in Portrush a few times more this year, but no longer a hardship now the Marcus has arrived!

Called in on spec post an afternoon gig and Rachel very kindly managed to fitbus in. Lovely food, environment and superb service from our server Chloe. Perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. Also the coffee was fabulous! Will visit again soon

Just back from a 2 night break here and it was perfect. Check in on line was easy the day before we arrived. Rooms are cosy, not massive, but bed very comfy with massive TV in front of it. Bathroom is good and the shower is amazing, really powerful and warm. Dinner in the restaurant was great, breakfast quick and tasty and cocktail in the bar were great. Special shout out to Rup who served breakfast both mornings. The nicest and friendliest waitress we've ever had..anywhere. Location is great. Well be back!
