Dillons Hotel in Letterkenny has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment and brand refresh following a €1.8/£1.5 million investment by its parent company, the McKeever Hotel Group.
As part of McKeever's three-year growth strategy, the investment has equipped the popular town centre with a new standard of upscale lodging. The 90-bedroom hotel now features a variety of suites, including a fully accessible option, along with several two-bedroom deluxe family rooms. All other bedrooms have been renovated and updated, allowing Dillons to provide guests with the broadest range of accommodation choices and budgets available.
Other hotel amenities have also been upgraded as part of the refurbishment programme including the fit-out of a brand-new on-site gym. Dillons has also benefited from a brand refresh and new website to support the hotel’s marketing drive and improve its online booking system.
Eddie McKeever, Managing Director of McKeever Hotel Group said: "Dillons Hotel has been a hugely successful addition to our Group, giving us a firm base in the North West. We’ve found our customers and their needs have changed significantly over the last five years and our goal was to expand our accommodation offering, providing guests with a full range of options which are of the highest standard but also affordable.
"In line with our 'We Do More' culture, and commitment to continuous investment, we’re delighted to see this transformation come to fruition ahead of the busy summer season."
Robert McElhinney, General Manager at Dillons Hotel stated: "Not only are we a town centre hotel but we also act as a gateway to all that Donegal has to offer. This means we are a prime location for tourists and overseas visitors, yet we also maintain our community focus and 'local' feel. Our new-look and upgraded accommodation offering further enhances the customer experience and we look forward to extending the traditional Dillon’s welcome to guests, old and new."
TV personality and artist Timmy Mallett, who stayed at Dillons during his recent cycle tour of the Donegal and Northern Ireland coastlines, gave the new suites his seal of approval. In addition to commenting on the warmth of the welcome and the high standard of the accommodation Timmy credited Dillon's for its art, which was the work of company director, Catherine McKeever.
