Westport Hotel Group

What Westport Hotel Group does

Westport Hotel Group is a family-run Irish hospitality company founded in 1969 and headquartered in Westport, County Mayo, operating three 4-star hotels in Westport (Castlecourt Hotel, Westport Plaza Hotel and Westport Coast Hotel, the only waterfront hotel in Westport), self-catering Asgard Apartments on the Great Western Greenway, the Westport Heights Guesthouse acquired in 2024, and Waterloo Townhouse & Suites, a newly added Georgian property in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. The group runs an integrated resort platform of 344 bedrooms, 8 meeting rooms, 6 dining rooms, 6 restaurants, 3 bars, two destination spas (Spa Sula and Spa Veda) and leisure centres, with capacity to host 750-delegate conferences and 500-guest weddings. Underlying technology is conventional hospitality SaaS: the Avvio booking platform with SSL-secured websites for accommodation reservations and the TablePath system for restaurant reservations, alongside GDPR-compliant data handling.

The business monetises a diversified mix of accommodation, food and beverage, spa, conference and events, weddings, leisure services and gift vouchers (valid across the group for five years). Pricing spans promotional B&B rates (MEGA 40/50 from €40-€50 per person sharing) up to luxury spa breaks, with structured group incentive packages for Gold Group Holidays targeting senior and group tour operators (free places, single supplements, complimentary upgrades). Go-to-market is hybrid direct-to-consumer (own websites, online booking, gift voucher portal, social media and event sponsorship including Hike West Fest and Westport Marathon) plus dedicated sales teams for enterprise conference business, weddings, and group holiday bookings. Customer segments span individual leisure travellers on the Wild Atlantic Way, corporate conference clients (up to 750 delegates), wedding parties, Golden Years senior travellers, group tour operators, and Dublin business and event travellers via Waterloo Townhouse.
