4 Stars for Clybaun Hotel

Galway’s Clybaun Hotel was recently awarded four star classification by Fáilte Ireland. The recent award to the Knocknacarra-based hotel follows an extensive million euro refurbishment and upgrading of facilities and amenities over the last year and a half. “Refurbishment work started in March 2015 when the hotel’s ballroom was completely refurbished and remodelled,” explains General Manager Fintan Loftus. “The function suite now caters for weddings and large events for up to 300 people. Our wedding business has really taken off since the ballroom was completed and we are extremely busy with show arounds and wedding consultations on a weekly basis. We have bookings in for 2017, 2018 and 2019. All 100 bedrooms were also refurbished to a very high standard with different themes and designs, giving our guests a unique experience. Also, late last year we introduced a brasserie style O’Gorman’s Bar which opens from 10.30am daily, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our newly-created ‘Maritime’ restaurant opens daily from 6pm and caters for large parties of up to 50 persons.” The Clybaun Hotel also received a 2016 Service of Excellence award from Trip Advisor, as well as accolades from Booking.com, Holiday Check and RSVP Wedding magazine.
