With You In Mind Programme

A message from David Byrne, CEO, Great National Hotels & Resorts

At Mulranny Park Hotel, the safety and wellbeing of our guests and the people who work with us are our number one priority. For this reason, we have, over the past number of weeks developed our ‘With you in Mind’ programme.

In line with government and HSE advice, along with guidelines issued by the IHF and Fáilte Ireland we have developed and put in place new measures and protocols relating to how the hotel operates with a specific focus on the health and safety of everyone who visits us, works with us and interacts with us. We have a Covid-19 team in place in our hotel and members of senior management have recently undertaken a QQI level 5 course in Infection, Prevention & Disease Control.

As our guest, you will notice some changes we have adopted throughout our hotels, from the moment you arrive to the facilities in your room, to your experiences in our bars and restaurants. However, one thing we can guarantee you that will not have changed and that is our commitment to providing you with a warm, welcoming, enjoyable and safe stay in our Hotels.
