A FERMANAGH man and his business partners have confirmed that they have sold the Armagh City Hotel.
Ernie Fisher, Kieran McAnallan, Felix Mooney and Brian McCormack sold the popular city centre hotel for an undisclosed sum.
The hotel, which has a team of 160 staff, has been an established and well-loved part of the Armagh community since it first opened 23 years ago.
Renowned for its extensive function suites which can cater for up to 1200 guests, it has been the chosen venue for large scale events and celebrations, hosting sell-out celebrity concerts, sporting events, press conferences and political gatherings.
Expressing their confidence in the new owners, Kieran McAnallan, Felix Mooney, Brian McCormack and Ernie Fisher said, “We are delighted that the McKeever team is now at the helm of the Armagh City Hotel. We are confident that their combined experience, knowledge and family-focused approach will be fundamental in driving this great facility, and its loyal workforce, forward.
“We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the past 23 years and deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey. As we step aside, we do so with immense appreciation and excitement for the hotel’s future under the McKeever family’s stewardship.”
Welcoming the Armagh City Hotel and its team to the McKeever Hotel Group, a delighted Eddie McKeever, Managing Director settled the speculation.
“We know there has been much speculation about the change of ownership and we’re delighted to finally be in a position to confirm that this great hotel is now part of the McKeever portfolio,” he said.
