Ramsey Park Hotel development aims to create jobs
Construction work to double the size of Ramsey Park Hotel, the contemporary hotel in Mooragh Park on the Isle of Man, has reached a crucial stage with the foundations completed and steelwork half finished.
Opened five and a half years ago under the Classic Lodges ‘Partner’ hotels umbrella, the popularity of the 30-bedroom property has soared. An application to extend the hotel with a function room for up to 250-people, and the addition of a further 30 bedrooms, was approved in April 2017.
Richard Grime, Managing Director of the Classic Lodges chain of hotels, says the development of Ramsey Park represents a multi-million pound investment by the Group into the local community:
“We are thrilled that Ramsay Park has been such a tremendous success. The Isle of Man has proven to be an incredibly popular destination over the last few years, especially with the growth of the staycation.
“This development will enable the hotel to hold more weddings and become an even more integral part of the community. We are full to capacity on many occasions throughout the year, so doubling the number of rooms will help us to accommodate even more visitors to the island.”
General Manager of Ramsey Park, James O’Neill, says bookings are being taken now in time for TT Practice Week that starts on 25th May 29th 2019: “This development is great for local businesses and local people alike – we will be taking on a further five permanent staff and up to a dozen or so to help with events and weddings.
“The hotel will have 60 bedrooms consisting of 39 Deluxe Sea View rooms and 15 Deluxe Lake View rooms and six executive family suites – that are M3i Rated – the only hotel on Isle of Man to be rated at this level – available in time for next year’s TT race.”
