Many of Ireland’s leading hoteliers gathered at Castle Leslie Estate to welcome new additions to Ireland’s Blue Book
Michelle Maguire, the CEO, welcomed guests to the launch of Ireland’s Blue Book 2025 – the exquisite collection of country house hotels, manor houses, castles and restaurants – which has been an essential reference point for those in search of unique properties.
In attendance were hoteliers including Sammy Leslie of Castle Leslie, Catherine Dundon of Dunbrody House, Fern Allen of Ballymaloe House, Mark and Maria Nolan of Dromoland Castle, and Suzanne and Denise Slattery of The Station House Hotel.
Guests enjoyed a champagne reception and canapés before dinner, followed by the main business of the evening to introduce two new properties to Ireland’s Blue Book: Dromoland Castle, Co Clare, and The Station House Hotel, Co Meath, bringing the total number of properties for 2025 to sixty-four.
Michelle commented, “Both of these new additions bring something unique to the collection. The Station House Hotel offers a charming, family-run hotel set in a beautiful countryside setting, while Dromoland Castle is renowned globally for its exceptional hospitality and stunning location.” To find out more visit; www.irelands-blue-book.ie
