Annebrook House Hotel is a hotel in Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland.[1]
The original Annebrook House is a Georgian house built in by the Westmeath Board of Guardians as a hostel for visiting clergy. It was later the residence for the county surgeon John O'Connell and then the home of Medical Officer of Health (MOH) Dr Hugh O'Neill and his family.[2] [3] It one of the oldest buildings still standing in Mullingar.[4]
The property was auctioned in early April 2001 with Berty Dunne, a hotelier from County Kildare, making the winning bid.[5] In October 2002, it was announced that a planning permission application was sent to Westmeath County Council to construct a 49-bedroom hotel with a restaurant and a further 44 aparthotel units alongside renovating the original house on the 1.9acres site.[6] By July 2004, the house was being extensively renovated. The hotel is located within Mullingar Town Park.
Berty Dunne was originally aiming for the hotel to open by Christmas 2006 but the opening was delayed until February 2007 at a total cost of almost €20 million.[7] The hotel business was registered on as "Annebrook House Hotel Limited".[8]
In 2019, the hotel won the Hotel of the Year Irish Hospitality Award.[9] In 2022, the owners of Annebrook House Hotel announced that they had purchased the old Dunnes Stores premises on nearby Pearse Street a number of years prior and planned to expand there and build 50 additional bedrooms and a leisure centre on the ground floor.[10]
