Caiseal Mara Hotel to open Friday

Moville's Caiseal Mara Hotel will open for the first time this Friday, 16th May. An official opening by An Táinaste, Mary Coughlan, is set to take place later in the year.

Michael Naughton, General Manager of the McGee Hotel Group, said he expected the public to be extremely impressed with the 50 bedroom hostelry, formerly McNamara's Hotel. "The hotel has been completely renovated and it's totally changed from the way it was. People will remember that the ground floor in the old McNamara's had four levels. Now there is only two. We have a stunning new stairwell leading up from the ground floor and there is also a new lobby and reception area. "There are two function rooms, the 300 capacity Lough Foyle Suite and the Carrowmena Suite, which can cater for up to 80. In addition there is the Kinnego restaurant which seats 70 customers".

The hotel has a new bar, called the Quay, which has a covered outdoor smoking area. Among the 50 bedrooms are the bridal suite and four executive suites. Jobs for around forty people are being created at Caiseal Mara and although most positions have been filled, there are still some openings. In addition the hotel will require seasonal staff.

The hotel will host their first wedding on the 31st May.
