£ 1.2m penthouses to transform marina
Plush penthouse suites are to transform Troon marina when they open at the turn of the new year.
The £ 1.2m rooms, built by Yacht Havens Group, will bid to provide “relaxed luxury” for high rollers.
Named the Salt House Hotel, the facility will cross Scandanavian timber homes and traditional Scottish boathouses.
A collection of one and two bedroomed suites will sit alongside the renowned Scotts bar and restaurant.
Eight of the ten luxury suites will boast a balcony opening out over Troon Harbour and the bustling marina.
Announcing the Salt House Hotel, manager Stephen Bennie, said: “With nine marinas firmly established in premier locations around the UK, our focus has turned to finding vibrant and complementary ways to open up our waterfront locations to make them accessible to new visitors and, of course, create added opportunities for our berth holders.
“After ‘ dipping our toes in the water’ successfully with a restaurant, pub and floating pods, we were keen to open up the beautiful setting of Troon Yacht Haven and create something very special for those looking for relaxed luxury when staying away from home.
“With its striking ‘ Scandi- Scot’ influences, the Salt House Hotel will, we believe, achieve just that.
“It will be an extraordinary building in its own right coupled with the kind of waterside views which draw your breath whatever the weather.”
Yacht Havens Group, which was established in 1972, owns and operates nine marinas around the UK and in Europe and has developed each of their locations to suit the local market, from offices to eateries and retail.
