With the acquisition of these properties, Marine & Lawn is now up to eight properties worldwide in its portfolio, all situated next to some of the greatest golf courses in the world. \u201cThese acquisitions represent a pivotal milestone for Marine & Lawn,\u201d said Ben Weprin, Founder of Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts, CEO and Founder of AJ Capital Partners.<\/p>\n
Weprin went on to add, \u201cSince launching the brand in 2019, our ambition has always been to honor golf\u2019s most legendary locales with world-class hospitality. The addition of these iconic properties – each with deep roots in golf\u2019s history – allows us to bring that vision to life on both sides of the Atlantic.”<\/p>\n
Greywalls Hotel Acquisition<\/p>\n
Situated right behind the 10th tee box at Muirfield, home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, the Greywalls Hotel is an Edwardian estate steeped in history. Designed in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens, over decades, the property has served as a retreat for royals, golf enthusiasts and world travelers. The property features world renowned gardens by landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll.<\/p>\n
Privately owned by the Weaver family since 1926, the property has recently been entrusted to Marine & Lawn to keep the Greywalls Hotel tradition alive. Through the relationship with the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, guests of Greywalls will enjoy access to Muirfield, the sixteen-time host of the Open Championship and currently ranked in the top 10 courses in the world by Golf Digest.<\/p>\n
