The Eccles Hotel in Glengarriff has been sold for close to its €4 million guide price, marking a new chapter for one of Ireland’s oldest hotels.
The 59-bedroom property was put on the market by CBRE Hotels in July 2024 on behalf of hoteliers Ray Byrne and Eoin Doyle.
The new owner is US hospitality investor Brian Patrick Martin. The Eccles Hotel is his first venture in Ireland.
