Slieve Russell Hotel & Country Club
Close to the attractive canal-side town of Ballyconnell, this ever-growing flagship of the Sean Quinn Group is set amongst 300 acres of landscaped grounds and, in the foyer, seating areas are arranged around marble colonnades and a central staircase, flanked on either side by a bar and two restaurants.
Although all this invariably takes first-time visitors by surprise, it is very much the centre of the local community. Fairly recent developments include the addition of a new conference centre, the Ciúin Spa & Wellness Centre, also 60 superior rooms and two presidential suites; all bedrooms have extra large beds, spacious marble bathrooms and pleasant country views.
Dining choices are offered between the traditional, Conall Cearnach Restaurant and the newer continental/Asian style contemporary restaurant, Setanta - but it is the outstanding leisure facilities that attract the numbers, notably a championship golf course and Country Club.
