Major investment planned at leading Mayo hotel

Hotel Westport has revealed plans for a major investment at their premises at The Demesne in the town.

They are lodging a planning application to Mayo County Council for development works adjoining and adjacent to a number of protected structures and within their curtilage.

It includes the demolition of the existing single-storey entrance foyer and a portion of the single-story function room.

The existing service route to the west of the hotel building is being removed and relocation of parking spaces to accommodate revised circulation and new build elements.

Involved is the relocation of two existing stone piers and gates along the existing road into Westport Estate.

The project will also see the construction of a new entrance foyer and refurbishment of the bar and bistro.
