Investors weigh up Irish hotels

AS MORE and more Irish hotels are coming to market, the question of investor appetite raises its head.

A precedent for overseas investment in the Irish hotel market is rapidly being set, according to new research from Christie + Co, the international property adviser and broker.

Recent sales of hotels like the Four Seasons, The Grand Canal Hotel and the Morrison in Dublin, all point the way to greater overseas interest in the Irish market. A number of international investors have recently given indications that acquisitions made in the Irish market will not be the last.
