Five-Star Hotel Development To Create 75 Jobs
A leading hotel developer is to build an upmarket holiday complex in Co Clare, creating some 75 jobs at the same time.
Atlantis Developments Ltd has been granted planning permission to incorporate an historic 17th century country house, near Quin in Co Clare, into a €25m hotel complex.
The developer has said the 5-star development would create 30 jobs during construction and a further 45 full-time and part-time positions when it opens in 2010.
The proposed Ballykilty Manor Hotel and Holiday Complex will include 44 bedrooms, extensive spa and leisure facilities, a 400-person function and conference room, public bar and 130-seater restaurant.
The 50-acre site will also feature 14 holiday lodges and an event standard golf course, designed by international and European championship course designer Tommy Brennan.
Work on the hotel is expected to get underway shortly and will be completed in time for the 2010 season.
Ballykilty Manor, which is listed in Dr Hugh Weir's 'Houses of Clare' book, has its origins in the early 17th Century.
Among its owners was the family of Clare native Colonel Thomas Blood, who infamously stole the crown from the Tower of London in 1671.
John D. Flanagan of Atlantis Developments Ltd, described the refurbishment of Ballykilter Manor as the "resurrection of a sleeping giant".
"The development will involve the careful restoration of the existing manor house and its delicate incorporation as the centrepiece of the entire development. Once complete, the development will provide guests with a unique blend of heritage and 21st century luxury," Mr Flanagan said.
"Ballykilty Manor Hotel and Holiday Complex will continue Atlantis' Developments commitment to excellence in design and style and will be an invaluable addition to County Clare's tourism infrastructure. It will be marketed at overseas visitors as well as a rapidly growing domestic market.
"The development will also contribute greatly to the local economy."
Ballykilter Manor Hotel will be the sixth hotel to be developed by Atlantis Developments Ltd as it continues to strengthen its portfolio in the hotel sector.
