Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts, a new collection of luxury hotels along the Scottish golf coasts, will premiere this summer with the opening of Rusacks St Andrews and Marine North Berwick, followed by Marine Troon in 2022.
Marine & Lawn will welcome travellers to the birthplace of golf, offering handcrafted experiences rooted in service and prime access to Scotland’s most prestigious golf courses. Each Marine & Lawn property will establish a unique sense of place for guests, weaving the legends of centuries of golf history into design details throughout each hotel.
“We’re excited to open the first Marine & Lawn properties this summer and provide travellers with distinct, once-in-a-lifetime experiences along the storied coasts of Scotland,” commented Ben Weprin, AJ Capital Partners Founder and CEO.
Adding: “Our team has long been enamoured with the rugged beauty of the region and the rich history of Scottish golf, and these properties will sing in celebration of these distinguished traditions. From avid golfers and bucket list travellers to those looking for a leisurely long weekend, our properties will offer a welcome respite for all.”
The brand has partnered with restaurant developer White Rabbit Projects to launch and run all food and beverage outlets at Rusacks and Marine North Berwick. Each hotel will offer distinct destination dining options, providing epicurean experiences suited for locals and guests alike.
White Rabbit Projects is behind some of the most celebrated hospitality concepts in the UK including Kricket, Lina Stores and Island Poké.
With input from local suppliers throughout Scotland, the range of culinary offerings will encompass restaurant, bar and café concepts as well as a standout rooftop bar and restaurant at Rusacks St Andrews that will overlook the world famous Old Course and West Sands Beach.
