The MET hits right note at jazz festival’s spiritual home

Drum roll please — the grand dame of Cork hotels has unveiled a new bar, restaurant, and tea-room just in time for the city’s jazz festival which is expected to inject up to €35m into the local economy.

And the Lord Mayor dropped by the new MET at the Metropole Hotel, the spiritual home of the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival, to sample the plush surroundings.
