Killarney's Castlerosse Park Resort Celebrates Four Star Status with Significant Investment, Extensive Rebrand and Launch of its 'Green Agenda"
Castlerosse Park Resort, famed for its sublime surroundings of Killarney National Park, Lakes of Killarney and the mountain peaks of McGillycuddy Reeks, is announcing its completion of an extensive rebrand. Spanning a 12-month period and following a €1.5 million investment, the rebrand celebrates the resort’s recent receipt of Fáilte Ireland’s four-star status and the launch of its ‘Green Agenda’, which over time will see the resort become fully sustainable.
Castlerosse Park Resort is ideally located on the shores of the Lower Lake, a leisurely 30-minute walk from Killarney Town Centre through Killarney National Park. The resort, formerly known as Castlerosse Hotel & Holiday Homes is home to a 120-bedroom hotel plus 39 two-bedroom 4-star golf lodges and holiday homes. The rebrand to Castlerosse Park Resort better encompasses the exceptional accommodation and leisure facilities available at the location, from the leisure club, spa and 9-hole golf course to children’s play areas, bike rentals and its acclaimed Grosvenor Restaurant and Mulligans Bar & Lakeview. Whilst the resort always aspired to offer four-star service, following several recent physical and service improvements, this has now been formally recognised by Fáilte Ireland.
Throughout 2020, the resort will embark on a ‘Green Agenda’ that in time will transition the resort to becoming fully sustainable and help to reduce its carbon footprint. This will include an aggressive four step plan, showcasing the resorts full commitment to ecotourism and its preservation of picturesque Killarney National Park. Focus will be on Water Conservation, including sourcing the resort’s water needs from a 60m deep well on the grounds of the property. Recycling and Waste will introduce recycle bins, a commitment to reduce waste to landfill and a ‘pledge on plastic’. Green Energy is already in place in all 39 holiday homes and the introduction of heat pumps and solar panels elsewhere will greatly reduce the resort’s dependence on fossil fuels. Plus, the resort is currently creating a 100% organic Herb & Biodiversity Garden, which the kitchen team will use in various dishes served in the resort’s Grosvenor Restaurant and Mulligans Bar.
Con Horgan, Proprietor of Castlerosse Park Resort says:
“For the last few years we have been considering bringing about a change in how we do business at the resort. Given our lush and beautifully scenic environment and vast amounts of wildlife, we wanted to take every measure possible to ensure that we protect its future for the next generation, hence the introduction of our ‘Green Agenda’, an agenda we’ve been researching and introducing for some time. In addition, we’ve been investing in our property and services to bring about an all-encompassing four-star ‘resort’, with many accommodation offerings and activities for all. Killarney itself is an extraordinary town that plays host to award-winning tourism hotspots including the Gap of Dunloe, over 25,000 acres of breath-taking ecology at Killarney National Park and endless scenic walking routes to internationally famed golf courses, exceptional restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. It attracts high volumes of domestic and international tourism business each year with something to offer everyone from families and the active outdoor adventurer to couples and golden years.”
