Famous Irish hotel, two others go on sale for 30m euros
[LONDON] The Malton, where Jacqueline Kennedy and her children vacationed in the 1960s, and two other Irish hotels were put on sale for 30 million euros (S$51 million). That's 10 million euros less than The Malton alone sold for in 2006.
The hotel, opened in 1854, is in Killarney about 290 kilometres southwest of Dublin and it's where parts of Ryan's Daughter starring Robert Mitchum was filmed. The 172-bedroom Malton is being sold together with the Metropolis Hotel in Cork and the Kilkenny Remand Hotel in the city of the same name, broker Savills plc said on Tuesday.
"This is the first portfolio of Irish hotels to be offered for sale in almost a decade," said Tom Barrett, head of Savill's hotel and leisure unit in Ireland. The hotels are profitable and "considerable interest" is expected, he added.
