A temporary closure for a major renovation project
The iconic 16th-century property will begin the most ambitious transformation in its contemporary hospitality history in November 2026. This complete suspension of operations will allow for a project of unprecedented scale since the estate’s conversion into a hotel in 1963. During this construction period, scheduled until June 2027, teams of master craftsmen and architects will reinvent the entire residence while scrupulously preserving its architectural heritage.
A glass-domed atrium at the heart of the estate
A central element of the project, a 300-square-metre glass structure will make its debut in mid-summer 2027. Converting the former inner courtyard into a living space bathed in natural light, this atrium will host afternoon tea, evening cocktails and musical performances. This versatile venue will allow visitors to appreciate the majesty of the architectural setting year-round, sheltered from the elements.
Reorganised capacity increased to 121 keys
The redevelopment project will allow the establishment to increase its accommodation offering, rising from 96 to 121 ultra-luxury keys. The creation of two private lodges and the restoration of the former stables within the Walled Garden Collection will enrich the options for exclusive stays. Meanwhile, the Heritage Collection will bring together exceptional rooms and suites featuring private balconies overlooking the estate’s gardens and woodlands.
Innovative thermal facilities and fine dining service
The relaxation areas will be enhanced by new thermal facilities, including glass-fronted saunas looking directly onto the private lake. On the culinary side, the establishment will reintroduce the rituals of fine hospitality with carving and flambé services performed tableside from a guéridon. These experiences will be complemented by cultural immersion workshops rooted in the heritage of County Clare.
