Bank Apartments Achieves Green Tourism Bronze Award
We’re proud to share that Bank Apartments Portrush has received the Green Tourism Bronze Award, recognising the steps we are taking towards more sustainable hospitality on the Causeway Coast.
Sustainability has been an important part of Bank Apartments from the beginning. Our building on Main Street Portrush has been carefully restored, allowing us to preserve its character while giving it a new life as modern guest accommodation.
Receiving the Green Tourism Bronze Award is a lovely milestone for us. The award recognises tourism businesses that are making positive changes in areas such as energy use, waste, purchasing, community support and care for the local environment.
What This Means to Us
For our team, this award reflects the small but meaningful choices we make every day. We want our guests to enjoy a comfortable stay while knowing that we are working to reduce our impact wherever we can.
It also encourages us to keep improving. Bronze is an important first step, and we see it as part of a longer journey towards doing more for our guests, our community and the beautiful coastline around us.
Sustainability at Bank Apartments
One of the most sustainable parts of our story is the building itself. Rather than starting from scratch, the former bank has been restored and reused, helping to protect a piece of Portrush’s heritage.
We have also made practical choices throughout the property to lower our environmental footprint. These include using renewable electricity, avoiding fossil fuels on site, and reducing single-use plastics and toiletries where possible.
Waste management is another part of our daily routine. We separate waste into general waste, recyclables and glass, helping to support better recycling and more responsible disposal.
Greener Stays in Portrush
Our central location makes it easy for guests to enjoy Portrush on foot. Beaches, cafés, restaurants, shops, the harbour and coastal walks are all close by, so visitors can experience the town without always needing to use a car.
We also encourage guests to support local businesses, explore the Causeway Coast responsibly, and help protect the natural beauty that makes this area so special.
Looking Ahead
We’re delighted to have achieved the Green Tourism Bronze Award, but we know there is always more to do. We will continue looking for ways to reduce waste, use resources carefully and support more sustainable stays in Portrush.
Thank you to our team and guests for being part of this journey. We look forward to continuing our green journey at Bank Apartments Portrush.
