Hotel granted permission for 48-room expansion

CORK County Council has granted a number of significant planning permissions, including an extension to the Rochestown Park Hotel, which will make it the second largest hotel in Munster.

Managing director of Rochestown Park Liam Lally said the 48-bedroom extension would be in addition to the 163 bedrooms in the facility and 20 bedrooms which are contained in eight executive townhouses surrounding the main building.

“This will give us a total of 231 rooms, making us the second biggest hotel in Munster, just behind The Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney,” Mr Lally said.
