Despite the recent downturn in the economy, there are plans to develop a brand new hotel in Knocknacarra.
The hotel will be constructed at the site of the Spinnaker House hotel in Knocknacarra. Ronan Lawless has been granted permission to construct a three and four storey mixed use development at Knocknacarra.
He originally applied for a nine storey development at the Spinnaker hotel but this was refused by Galway City Council, and the decision was upheld by An Bord Pleanala. Mr.Lawless will now construct a 26 bedroom hotel with public bar, lounge, dining room common reception area and 16 apartments’.
