THE Culloden Estate & Spa completed a renovation programme which has seen Hastings Hotels invest £4.8 million in its leading five-star property over the last three years.

Its general manager Eoin O’Sullivan was joined by group managing director Howard Hastings to unveil the complete redevelopment of two floors of bedrooms which has seen a selection of the smaller bedrooms remodelled to be augmented in size, bringing the hotel stock to 98.

Also included in the renovation has been an extensive redevelopment of the Mitre Restaurant, Stuart Suite and the spa, which has ensured that the Culloden remains one of the top hotels in Ireland.

Mr O'Sullivan said: “We are thrilled to have completed a three year renovation programme which has seen almost £5m spent on our facilities.

"We now have a brand new facade to a wing of the hotel with larger rooms and magnificent bathrooms overlooking landscaped gardens, all with the aim of providing our guests with an even more enjoyable experience when they stay at the Culloden.

“As well as the bedroom project, we undertook a complete redesign of the Mitre restaurant together with new menus created by chef McKnight, and an upgraded spa with new quiet room, exclusive nail bar and remodelled gym facilities as well as a beautiful refurbishment of the Stuart Suite for our weddings, conferences, and banquets to enjoy."

He added: “It is continual investment like this that has enabled us to pick up prestigious awards throughout Ireland. Most recently we were named Luxury Hotel of the Year at the Irish Hotel Awards and were highly commended at the inaugural Georgina Campbell Breakfast Awards in the best five-star hotel category.”
