A new Ebrington Hotel is getting ready to welcome its first guests to the four-star accommodation.

The manager of the new Ebrington Hotel, Gary McDonald has expressed his excitement at welcoming the first guests to the four-star deluxe accommodation in the historic Clock Tower building.

And with a planned opening date of June 30, his team ‘has been working non-stop the past few weeks’.

He explained: "I am extremely excited to be a part of this project and to be leading such a talented team. The location is out of this world, and it is such a unique building with no expense spared on the design and fit out."

He continued: “Our hotel offers 93 bedrooms with four suites with the provision that it can grow to 152 bedrooms. The location itself, in the heart of the city, overlooking the river Foyle is a huge selling point as are the landmark buildings themselves which are of huge historic significance both locally and internationally. It's one of the best urban locations for a hotel in the country."

"We are being built to a four-star deluxe standard and will offer a range of amenities and services to ensure that all our guests have a comfortable stay in a beautifully designed guest room."

"The hotel will have its own six treatment room spa, complete with thermal suite, hydrotherapy pool and gym. It also boasts luxurious accommodation with a third of of our rooms overlooking the city and offers world-class dining options from our talented kitchen team who are led by award-winning NI Chef, Noel McMeel."
