FBD Hotels & Resorts has completed a major transformation of The Grand Hotel in Malahide, County Dublin, following its acquisition of the property.

FBD Hotels & Resorts acquired The Grand Hotel Malahide for €55m in March 2025 from the Ryan family, who owned the property since 1974. The Phoenix Wing, which dates back to 1835, now contains 44 bedrooms including five junior suites and twelve executive rooms. Designers Liz Harte and Melanie O’Callaghan refreshed the interiors with jewel tones and Art Deco influences.
