Taoiseach Micheál Martin has officially opened The Grace, a new luxury hotel at Westport Estate in Co. Mayo. The 129 room property sits within 430 acres of historic estate lands overlooking Clew Bay along the Wild Atlantic Way. Developers completed the project as part of the wider transformation of the estate by the Hughes family.
The hotel blends contemporary Irish design with the heritage and natural beauty of the west of Ireland. It draws inspiration from Grace O’Malley and Grace Kelly. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, spa and wellness areas, a fitness centre, and dining focused on seasonal Irish produce at the Black Sheep Restaurant.
