Marriott leaving Ireland?

Question

Is it true the Marriott group are pulling out of Ireland next April (09) ?

Answer 1

I work in a Marriott and haven't heard of this. The Shelbourne in Dublin just had a multi-million refurbishment to be turned into a Marriott and just opened this year so really don't think they would put all that money into it just to sell it off.

Where did you hear this anyway?

EDIT:

Alright, I'll have to do some digging for information in work tomorrow it seems =))

Some Marriott properties are not owned by Marriott International...maybe it's just that some other chain are buying the properties but continuing to run them as Marriott's?? I don't know...I'll have to find out. I was meant to stay there next year =(

Answer 2

WOW!!!! I heard that too!!!!!!!! there was a memo leaked.....i think the Acres hotel chain is taking over the logo....have the Marriott staff in ireland been told yet????

Answer 3

Sher we wouldn't know about that now. We hate those hotel people anyway. Whenever we stay anywhere they pester us for weeks on end afterwards looking for their bedsheets, bathrobes, TV, curtains and carpet back............
