The Menlo Park Hotel is a family-run, four-star hotel that has built a solid reputation for reliability over the past 27 years by providing friendly service, a homely atmosphere and a warm welcome.
The hotel is undertaking exciting renovations and expansion projects, but despite this, the continuity in hospitality remains the same. This is a new chapter for a local hotel that everyone knows and loves.
The hotel's remaining amenities are still completely functional. The hotel is making sure that both frequent visitors and regular guests receive the same excellent level of care and service during the refurbishment.
Food to fill the heart
The very popular bar and bistro offers all-day food service, ensuring guests are looked after from morning to night. Breakfast is served Monday to Saturday from 9:00am in the bistro café, and the ever-popular carvery is available from 12:00pm to 3:00pm, Monday to Friday.
The bistro offers an all-day bar menu on weekends, from 12:00pm, and from 3:00pm on Monday through Friday after the carvery.
The hotel has long understood that hospitality means being there for life’s milestones. At the heart of the Menlo Park Hotel, the bar, bistro, and restaurant will continue to serve as central hubs for dining.
The hotel's restaurant, accommodating up to 100 guests, caters to a wide range of family occasions, including birthdays, christenings, anniversaries, and funerals. Additionally, groups of up to 30 can be accommodated in the popular “Francis Room”.
Renovations
The renovations will include the addition of 11 brand-new bedrooms, scheduled to open in early 2026, and will increase the total number of rooms in the hotel to 92. These new rooms are modelled after the new "Signature" brand bedrooms, which were launched in early 2024.
Along with the additional bedrooms, the hotel is redeveloping its meeting facilities with a new conference suite comprising two new meeting rooms.
Furthermore, there will be an extension to the bar and bistro area, which will add to its capacity as a popular dining venue.
Enhancements
The Menlo Park Hotel's longstanding reputation as a reliable venue for social gatherings, business meetings, and family reunions is reflected in this investment.
Whether it's a board meeting or a family occasion, the hotel continues to provide flexible, well-equipped spaces supported by experienced staff, and guests can expect the same relaxed atmosphere and familiar, friendly faces.
Despite the scale of the expansion, what stands out most is what isn’t changing. The Menlo Park Hotel remains a four-star, family-owned property where service is the top priority. Parking and easy access remain key strengths in the hotel, making your visit as convenient as it is comfortable.
The same commitment to excellent hospitality that has defined the hotel since its inception in 1998 continues to guide every decision. No facilities are being lost; instead, existing strengths are being enhanced to better serve guests now and into the future. As the hotel itself puts it, 'New Year, Same Hotel Concept.'
What's to come
The Signature bedrooms already offer a glimpse of that future. These rooms are light-filled, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, striking a balance between comfort and modernism. Custom-made furniture makes the most of available space, and little touches, such as custom wallpaper that depicts scenes of Galway in the background, give the rooms personality and mood.
Not only are these rooms designed to be impressive, but they are also intended to be places of relaxation and inspiration. There is something for every kind of stay, from quick business trips to family groups, thanks to a range of standard and superior options.
There is a tangible sense of anticipation as the development continues. More space, more rooms, more ways to gather, all delivered with the same friendly, helpful staff and the same welcoming atmosphere that guests have trusted for nearly three decades. For more information or
