Seafront, Newcastle · Hotel

A grand Victorian resort hotel on Newcastle's seafront, directly beneath Slieve Donard and beside Royal County Down golf links.

About Slieve Donard Resort and Marina

Built in 1897 to bring visitors off the newly arrived railway, the Slieve Donard Resort and Marina occupies the most striking position of any hotel in the Mournes, standing on Newcastle's seafront with Slieve Donard rising immediately behind it. The hotel now operates under the Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts brand and pairs its period exterior with a spa, marina and several restaurants and bars, including its own take on the traditional Percy French pub.

Guests get direct access to the beach and promenade, and the hotel sits alongside Royal County Down, regularly rated among the finest golf links in the world, making it a natural choice for golfing breaks as well as walking holidays into the mountains behind the town.

Rooms and suites vary from sea-facing to mountain-facing, and the hotel's scale means it can comfortably handle everything from a couple's weekend to a wedding party, with event and meeting space alongside the leisure facilities.
