Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland has announced plans to carry out a multi-million-pound upgrade of its hotel and guest facilities.  

Refreshed interior styling will reflect the natural assets of the resort’s 600-acre private peninsula and harmonise with the water, countryside and landscaped grounds that surround its luxury accommodation. 

The work is the second phase of a long-term investment commitment that will represent a greater focus on guest well-being and mindfulness. 

It will be Lough Erne Resort’s largest capital injection since it came under the management of US-based TRU Hotels and Resorts and 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.

Joanne Walsh, general manager at the resort, 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.
