Five-star Park hotel back in black

THE exclusive five-star hotel operated by RTÉ’s “hotel experts”, John and Francis Brennan, returned to profit last year after two years of successive losses totalling over €400,000.

The third series of At Your Service is running, with more than 568,000 viewers tuning in on Sunday nights to watch the Brennans offer tips and advice to struggling hotels and guesthouses.

However, John Brennan revealed yesterday that they were forced to take their own measures at The Park Hotel in Kenmare in Co Kerry after it sustained after-tax losses of €418,000 in 2008.
