Lough Erne resort to get multi-million-pound upgrade

Lough Erne Resort have announced a multi-million-pound upgrade programme for its hotel and guest facilities.

It will be the largest capital injection at the Co Fermanagh resort since it came under the management of US-based TRU Hotels and Resorts in 2015.

The US owners said the latest investment shows their long-term commitment to the luxury resort and its two golf courses.

It will begin with the creation of a new wedding pavilion in October.

The news of the long-planned investment comes just weeks after the PGA EuroPro Tour announced that its Tour Finale will be taking place at Lough Erne from 19-21 October, with competitors on the tour taking on resort’s renowned Faldo Course, designed by six-time major Sir Nick Faldo.

Jonathan Gallagher and Joanne Walsh toast news of the investment

General manager Joanne Walsh said: “Lough Erne Resort is an incredible property. This investment will see the resort transformed. Our old-world interiors are set for a makeover that aligns with the beauty of our countryside setting and the pursuits which we offer on Lough Erne.”

Lough Erne marketing director Jonathan Gallagher added: “We are set to elevate the Lough Erne Resort brand and interiors in a way that connects the physical to the experiential. Our people and place will be revitalised to create a luxury destination that connects mind, body and soul in the countryside.”

Lough Erne Resort first opened in 2007 and features two championship golf courses as well as a Thai Spa and three restaurants, one of which is the 3AA Rosette Catalina. The resort was acquired in 2015 by Lough Shore Road Ltd, in a joint venture of US-based Advantage Capital Holdings and TRU Hotels and Resorts, which also serve as the resort’s operators.
