History
Marine Troon is a Victorian landmark on the Ayrshire coast, its red-brick, Scottish Baronial bulk presiding over the 1st and 18th fairways of Royal Troon's Old Course - an Open Championship venue - with views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig. Purpose-built and first opened in 1894 as The Marine Hotel, it was designed by the celebrated Glaswegian architects James Salmon and John Gaff Gillespie, contemporaries of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It was first registered as an AA four-star hotel in 1912 and is said to be the only hotel in Scotland to have retained the same rating throughout its history.
Over the decades the hotel changed hands and names: purchased by the Caledonian Railway Company in 1902, it operated as the Caledonian Hotel (with a new wing and ballroom added) before reverting to the Marine Hotel around 1920. Following a six-month refurbishment, it reopened in June 2022 as part of the Marine & Lawn collection of storied golf hotels (alongside Rusacks St Andrews and Marine North Berwick). The 89-room hotel pairs maximalist interiors with the two-AA-rosette restaurant The Rabbit and the bar The Seal.
