5-Star Scotland: A new luxury collection of hotels are opening on the Scottish coast, for a golf and foodie haven

A luxury Scottish staycation is just what we need. Which is incredibly fortunate, because this summer, a whole new luxury hotel collection is opening on the Scottish coast at three of the world’s most iconic golf courses. Say hello to Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts. 

The new luxury hotel brand will open three beautiful new Scottish golf hotels, with the Rusacks St Andrews and Marine North Berwick resorts opening their doors this summer, followed by the Marine Troon in 2022.

The new openings are now accepting bookings for summer 2021, offering handcrafted  experiences  rooted  in  service  and  prime  access  to  Scotland’s  most  prestigious  golf  courses. 

Attracting travellers from across the globe, each of the new properties is set to take advantage of its location in the birthplace of golf to weave the legends of centuries of golf history into design details throughout each hotel.

As well as world-class golf, guests at the new hotels can also expect  world-class dining. Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts has partnered  with  restaurant  developer,  White  Rabbit  Projects – the company behind some of the most exciting restaurants in the UK, including Kricket and Lina Stores – to  launch  and  run  all  the food  and  beverage  outlets  at the Rusacks  and  Marine  North  Berwick hotels. 

“From  avid golfers and bucket list travellers to those looking for a leisurely long weekend, our properties will offer a  welcome respite for all.”

Working with 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.
