Following on from an initial investment programme Glenlo Abbey Hotel has just completed a series of enhancements which aim to improve overall guest experience. Upgrading 28 bathrooms and 2 suites with air conditioning and bedrooms also receiving a mini makeover with new wardrobes, coffee docks, pelmets and painting. The estate grounds have also had major work completed including a new road to specifically service their golf and event guest traffic, with two car parks extended allowing Glenlo to entirely replace a further car park with beautiful gardens so bedroom views have been greatly enhanced. Other work completed includes refurbishment of guest public areas and outlets including The Tapestry and The Palmer Bar. These works represent an investment in the property of just over €1.5 million.
