Bank Apartments Achieves Green Tourism Bronze Award

May 18, 2026

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.

Why Choose a Serviced Apartment for Your North Coast Getaway Planning a trip with family, friends, or a small group can be exciting so choosing the right place to stay makes all the difference. While hotels and B&Bs are popular options, many travellers are discovering the benefits of serviced apartments when visiting the North Coast. At Bank Apartments Portrush , guests enjoy the best of both worlds: the space and privacy of a private apartment combined with the comfort and reliability of professionally managed accommodation. It’s a relaxed, practical choice for anyone organising a coastal getaway together. More Space to Relax One of the biggest advantages of serviced apartments is space. Instead of sharing a single hotel room, guests enjoy separate living, sleeping and kitchen areas , creating a much more comfortable environment. This is especially useful for families, couples travelling together, or groups of friends who want to spend time together while still having their own space to unwind after a day exploring the coast. Flexible and Cost-Effective Serviced apartments often offer better value for longer stays. Having a fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare breakfasts, pack lunches for beach days, or enjoy relaxed evenings dining together. For groups and families, this flexibility helps reduce dining costs while also creating a more social and comfortable stay.

The story of the Belfast Banking Company buildings is one of civic pride, architectural ambition and remarkable resilience. Across Belfast and the wider region, these former banking halls were built to impress with symbols of commercial confidence during the Victorian and early 20th centuries. Today, many of these landmark buildings have been carefully restored and repurposed, blending heritage with modern life. On the North Coast, that legacy continues at Bank Apartments Portrush with a beautifully restored former branch of the Belfast Bank, offering guests the chance to stay within a piece of living history.
