The Grand Hotel in Malahide has unveiled its fully renovated Tara Suite, marking a milestone in a €7m property-wide investment by owner FBD Hotels & Resorts. Designed by interior designer Liz Harte, the refurbished ballroom blends vintage glamour with contemporary sophistication, offering views over the Malahide Estuary. The suite accommodates banquet dining for up to 300 guests or conferences for up to 450 delegates.
The interior features textured Hohenberger wallpaper in soft beige, sand and gold tones, paired with grey-beige wall panelling and a contemporary abstract carpet. The suite is illuminated by six crystal chandeliers and framed with floor-to-ceiling velvet drapes.
Built-in amenities include a brand-new custom bar with gold panelling, a built-in stage and a permanent dancefloor. The adjacent Tara staircase has been updated with matching gold-textured wallpaper to tie the ground-floor scheme together.The ballroom transformation is part of a phased multi-million-euro overhaul following the hotel’s acquisition in early 2025. Other recently completed updates at the 201-bedroom property include the relaunch of the historic 1835 wing as the Phoenix Wing and a complete refresh of the Arena Health and Fitness Club. The hotel is hosting an exclusive Wedding Fair on Sunday 27 September 2026 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm by appointment only.
