Fitzpatrick seeking to expand hotel chain in Washington or New York

IRISH hotelier John Fitzpatrick is looking to expand his chain of hotels in either New York or Washington DC.

He already owns two hotels in New York — the Grand Central and the Fitzpatrick Manhattan, where a €7 million refurbishment programme has just been completed.

“I’d like another hotel somewhere in New York or Washington. I’m notinterested in anywhere else,” he said.
