Creating ‘Europe’s Augusta’ as JP McManus directs Adare Manor reinvention

The five-star Adare Manor Resort redesign is eagerly anticipated, writes Kevin Markham.

It was just over a year ago when the Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort closed its doors for an 18-month renovation, refurbishment, renewal — perhaps, call it a reinvention.

Purchased in 2015 by JP McManus, it was a delight to see the resort falling into the hands of an Irishman. Plenty of other resorts and hotels have been acquired by external interests and while this may be no bad thing, having that Irish influence at the helm of a world-class resort is reassuring. After all, JP has quite the relationship with Adare, which has now, quite literally, been cemented.
