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.
