The rebirth of this hotel is a further sign of the Liebherrs’ dedication”. Mr. Griffin emphasized the event’s importance for local tourism: "This is very positive news for Kerry tourism. The Europe, The Dunloe and Ard na Sidhe hotels are some of the top hotels in Kerry and this investment builds on a strong tradition of hospitality by this hotel group."
