History
Marine North Berwick is a grand Victorian seafront landmark in the East Lothian golfing town of North Berwick, some twenty miles east of Edinburgh. Dating to 1875, it was designed by the leading Edinburgh architect Frederick Thomas Pilkington in a distinctive baronial-Gothic revival style, and it originally opened as a hydropathic institute offering seawater and water-cure treatments before quickly being converted into a hotel.
In its heyday the Marine drew royalty and statesmen to what was then called the 'Biarritz of the North,' with guests including Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar and a visit from King Edward VII. Overlooking the 16th hole of North Berwick Golf Club's historic West Links and the Firth of Forth, it later traded as the Macdonald Marine Hotel & Spa before being restored and reopened in 2021 as Marine North Berwick, part of the Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts collection developed by AJ Capital Partners. It offers around 83-84 guest rooms and suites, a spa and event spaces.
