Hotel and bar operator the Towey Group is to sell the prestigious Leixlip House Hotel in Leixlip, Co Kildare.
John Ryan, of CBRE, is quoting €1 million for the 19-bedroom boutique hotel, which has captured a good share of the wedding market in the area.
The Georgian manor house dates back to 1774 and was cleverly converted into hotel use in 1996 without losing any of its elegance and style. Good use has been made of the available space to accommodate a restaurant and a function room .
The 19 bedrooms include five superior rooms and 10 standard rooms in the main house and four more in the coach house. All rooms come with TV, direct-dial telephone and tea and coffee facilities.
The ground floor includes a reception area, a lounge bar and the award-winning Bradaun Restaurant, which can seat 50 diners. The function room, with its own private entrance and bar, can accommodate up to 140 diners. There is a lapsed planning permission to convert the basement area from use as storage to a new bar and lounge.
John Ryan says the sale offers “an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed and unique boutique hotel that oozes charm and character”. It also has the advantage of an established level of turnover, much of it coming from wedding receptions.
