2008 Award Winners BUSINESS HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2008

Clontarf Castle Hotel

This 17th century castle is convenient to both the airport and city centre and, although is a pity that the grounds were given over to development some years ago, the hotel itself has been sensitively developed, with each new update imaginatively incorporated into the old castle structure and retaining the historic atmosphere.

Recent investment has resulted in a very stylish blend of the contemporary and traditional in all areas which, together with the hotel’s longstanding reputation for professional and caring service, makes Clontarf Castle a seriously desirable venue for events of all kinds; it has always been popular with the business community, and the extensive conference and meeting facilities have yet again been upgraded, to provide the latest technology for the benefit of anything from a single business guest to a conference for 600 – with experienced, unobtrusive service to match.

Luxurious, warmly decorated bedrooms are furnished with style, with wireless broadband, voicemail and US electrical sockets in addition to the many other amenities usual in a hotel of this standard. Off duty, or for informal meetings, the hotel has two bars – the chic Indigo Lounge, and Knights Bar, for traditionalists – and dining in will be no hardship either, as the striking Farenheit Grill restaurant offers a truly enjoyable dining experience, with great steaks and seafood the specialities.
