The hotel is being offered for sale subject to existing occupational leases with Merzolt Limited, with approximately 25 years remaining.

At €30m, the current annual rent of €2.4m represents a net initial yield of 7.66%.

The hotel is being sold through joint agents JLL and Savills, Savills stated that:

“The sale comes as recent reviews show that the Cork hotel market has recorded five consecutive years of growth and is outperforming UK cities such as Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow.”

Dan O’Connor, Vice President, JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group said:

The Clarion Hotel Cork is the largest and arguably the best hotel in Cork City.

“It offers a strong existing leased income stream with bright prospects for future rental growth buoyed by a robust Cork hotel trading market and positive developments within Cork City, including the announcement that Cork’s first Convention Centre will be constructed nearby.”

    I’d love to buy this hotel, but the rising cost of renting means I can’t afford the 6m deposit.

    This will probably be bought by the Chinese billionaires who now own the Kingsley hotel and Fota Island Resort.

    I would have said The Hayfield Manor, although I haven’t been in the Kingsley since it reopened. The Maryborough isn’t bad either.

    But it’s all horses for courses. If I was traveling for work, The Clarion is exactly the kind of hotel I’d want to be put up in. All the facilities you could want, without too much fuss about the place. On the other hand, it’s not where I’d go for a romantic break; then that extra notch in service you get from somewhere like The Hayfield Manor is welcome.
