Lough Rynn Castle Estate & Gardens Expansion To Create 140 Jobs

The Hanly Castle Hotel Group has shared an update on the ongoing expansion of Lough Rynn Castle Estate & Gardens, in County Leitrim.

As part of the expansion, 51 new luxurious bedrooms are being developed, increasing the total room count to 95.

“We are pleased to confirm that construction is progressing on […] schedule, with our new restaurant due for completion in December 2025, followed by the launch of the first phase of 23 additional guest rooms and suites on 1 May 2026,” said Eoin O Sullivan, general manager.

The enhancement is designed to cater to the growing demand from both the corporate and leisure sectors, in one of Ireland’s most historic and luxurious estate settings.

In addition to the new restaurant and expanded accommodation, the development will include a wellness centre – complete with indoor and outdoor pools, and heating and cooling experiences – a new entrance and arrival lobby, lounges, glazed walkways, and an oak-panelled library bar.

The expansion will create approximately 140 new jobs across a range of professional roles and coincides with the refurbishment of the hotel’s existing bedrooms and suites.

The Hanly Castle Hotel Group has also committed to restoring the historical outbuildings on the property. The estate’s famous walled gardens continue to be restored and planted, using sustainable techniques and self-cultivated organic soil.
