Red Carnation Hotels purchased the four star Lisloughrey Lodge Hotel from receivers KPMG. Red Carnation Hotels had previously acquired the adjoining five-star Ashford Castle in 2013 and is currently undertaking a significant refurbishment and upgrading programme of the castle.
Lisloughrey Lodge is located adjacent to the historic Ashford Castle Estate, features 50 bedrooms and suites, The Quay bar, Wilde’s restaurant, conference and banqueting facilities, fitness centre, and treatment rooms. It has views over Lough Corrib and is a popular wedding location.
General manager of Ashford Castle Niall Rochford said: “We plan to make this into a seamless resort, with guests of the lodge now coming through the main gates of the castle.” He said the lodge would continue to target weddings and family groups with rates about 40 per cent below those of the castle, which is currently undergoing a multi-million euro refurbishment.
