Donnini Expands to Irvine: A Smart Move for Business and Guests
At Donnini, we’re constantly looking for ways to enhance our portfolio and provide our guests with the best experiences across Ayrshire. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of not one, but two stunning new properties in Irvine—the Annick Suite No.1 and Annick Suite No.2.
Why Irvine?
Irvine represents a strategic expansion for Donnini, blending opportunity with the needs of our guests. As one of Ayrshire’s central hubs, Irvine offers an appealing combination of accessibility, activities, and diverse amenities.
With Irvine's excellent transport links - including proximity to key motorways and train connections - our new properties cater perfectly to business travellers, families, and couples seeking a balance between convenience and comfort. Additionally, the town is home to scenic attractions like Irvine Beach and the Harbourside, making it an increasingly desirable location for both work and leisure stays.
The town’s central location makes it incredibly well-connected:
Kilmarnock: Just 10 miles (15-minute drive) away.
Prestwick: 8 miles (15-minute drive).
Ayr: 13 miles (20-minute drive).
Glasgow: 26 miles (35-minute drive), with excellent train links directly to Glasgow Central.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport: 9 miles (15-minute drive), making it ideal for international and business travellers.
Irvine Harbourside Regeneration
Irvine has been undergoing significant regeneration efforts aimed at revitalising the town and enhancing its appeal for both residents and visitors. These initiatives align with Donnini's strategic decision to expand into Irvine, offering guests the opportunity to experience a town on the rise.
A notable project is the £14 million regeneration of Irvine's Harbourside, set to commence in January 2025. This development, part of the £251 million Ayrshire Growth Deal, aims to transform the coastal area into a vibrant destination. Planned enhancements include:
A themed playpark and skatepark
Repairs to the historic Pilot House building
New landscaped park settings reflecting the coastal location
Improved cycle paths and active travel connections
Expansion of Beach Drive car park to increase capacity
These improvements are designed to boost tourism, create jobs, and foster community engagement, making Irvine an even more attractive place to stay.

Meeting Demand
Our decision to launch in Irvine wasn’t just a leap of faith - it was backed by data and a clear understanding of market demand. With Ayrshire continuing to grow as a hotspot for tourism and business, adding properties in a central town like Irvine allows Donnini to better serve the region's thriving accommodation market.
About the Annick Suites
Both Annick Suite No.1 and No.2 are designed with our guests in mind, offering the perfect blend of modern comfort and functionality:
Sleeps up to 4 guests: Each apartment features one king bedroom (that can twin) and one double bedroom, ideal for flexibility.
Central location: Situated in the heart of Irvine, guests are steps away from local shops, dining, and cultural attractions.
Modern features: Both properties boast contemporary interiors, fully equipped kitchens, and spacious living areas to make every stay comfortable.

As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: to help our guests Experience More. Whether it’s exploring new destinations, enjoying amazing stays, or simply feeling at home in a new town, Irvine is the next chapter in our story—and we couldn’t be more excited.
