MARCUS PORTRUSH PARTNERS 2026 BRIGGS EQUIPMENT NORTH WEST 200 DURING RACE WEEK ON MAY 4-9

The Marcus Portrush will partner the 2026 Briggs Equipment North West 200 during May 4-9 race week.

Set within a beautifully restored Victorian landmark on Main Street, The Marcus Portrush, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, offers boutique style, contemporary comfort and a prime base for race week.

For the North West 200, location matters. The hotel is within walking distance of some of the most sought after NW200 vantage points, placing you close to the action while giving you the comfort of retreating to a refined space once the engines quieten. Blue flag beaches and coastal walks are also just moments away, offering sea air and space to reset between race days.

As part of Hilton, guests benefit from trusted service standards and the reassurance of global quality, alongside the opportunity to collect Hilton Honors reward points throughout their stay.

After a day trackside, refuel at Nemesis Asian Fusion with bold, globally inspired dishes, or unwind with handcrafted cocktails and relaxed lunches at The Heritage Cocktail Bar.

‘We at The Marcus Portrush are delighted to partner with the Briggs Equipment North West 200. Celebrating everything that Portrush and the North Coast have to offer is at the heart of the Marcus story, and there is no better event to showcase this than the NW200.
