Perched on Northern Ireland’s spectacular north coast, Dunluce Lodge Hotel offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the famous Giant’s Causeway. When the luxury hotel underwent an ambitious interior refurbishment, the design brief was clear: create a refined, timeless aesthetic that reflects the natural beauty of its surroundings while delivering exceptional durability and comfort for guests.

Overlooking the iconic Royal Portrush Golf Club which was home to The Open Championship, the hotel attracts golf enthusiasts from around the globe. Its luxurious accommodation and stunning coastal views make it a premier destination for golfers visiting Northern Ireland’s famous links courses.

To achieve the design brief and vision, the designers turned to Impervia Flooring which boasts its authentic wood aesthetics, superior performance, and effortless installation.

In the hotel’s dining area, Impervia Smoked Oak Herringbone was chosen to bring a sense of warmth and sophistication. The deep, smoky tones and intricate herringbone pattern create an atmosphere of understated luxury, complementing the hotel’s soft lighting, handcrafted furniture, and panoramic coastal views. The texture of the flooring adds richness and depth, inviting guests to linger and enjoy the welcoming ambience.

For the bedroom suites and corridors, designers selected Impervia Mid Fumed Oak Herringbone. Its slightly lighter, elegant finish provides a calming balance that is ideal for spaces designed to promote rest and relaxation. The natural grain variation within the planks gives each room a distinctive charm, while the classic herringbone layout adds a sense of timeless craftsmanship throughout the private areas.

Installed by specialist contractors, Impervia’s rigid core click system ensured a smooth, precise fit with minimal disruption. The built-in acoustic underlay reduced sound transmission, contributing to a tranquil environment for hotel guests. Fully waterproof, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean, Impervia flooring offers the ideal combination of practicality and luxury meaning perfection for the demands of a busy hospitality setting.

Since reopening, Dunluce Lodge Hotel has received glowing feedback from visitors who admire the seamless flow and natural warmth of the flooring throughout the property. The combination of Smoked Oak and Mid Fumed Oak Herringbone has become a signature feature of the hotel’s design that has captured the elegance of real wood with the durability of modern innovation. With Impervia, Dunluce Lodge has achieved more than just beautiful interiors, it has created a lasting impression of comfort, quality, and contemporary style.
