Cork city's oldest hotel, the Imperial saw its turnover more than double last year ahead of its sale to veteran Dublin hotel and bar owner, Louis Fitzgerald.

In 2022, the hotel posted a turnover of more than €10.5m, up from €5.24m in the previous year as the hospitality sector rebounded from a covid-induced slump in activity.
