Hotel group Andras Hotels have submitted revised proposals for a £6.6m hotel regeneration project for the former Londonderry Hotel in Portrush.
The 87-bedroom boutique hotel will be located on Main Street / Atlantic Avenue in the town centre. Designed by conservation architects, Consarc, the proposals will preserve and restore the grade B1 listed buildings fronting onto Main Street.
The site has a long history as a hotel, with the former property first opening its doors in 1895. The hotel ceased trading in the 1980s and the current proposals will bring the site back to its historic use.
Rajesh Rana, director of Andras Hotels said: “Our vision is for an attractive, fully functional and boutique hotel that will bring this important site back to life as a hotel and will help to regenerate the Main Street and town centre area.
“The proposals are for a boutique hotel with 87 bedrooms, that will go a long way towards helping Portrush and the North Coast meet the growing demand for modern tourist accommodation.”
He added: “We are excited to be able to to restore these important listed buildings, and the proposals will pay homage to the site’s architectural heritage by preserving the buildings on Main Street and their important architectural details.
“The history of the site will also be kept alive through the incorporation of the historic names and features associated with the site into the establishment.”
