Europe’s Leading Green Hotel

Sandymount Hotel won Energia Sustainable Family Business of the Year 2021

The Energia Family Business Awards kicked off on the 18th of October 2021.  To be awarded this award and be recognised as Energia Sustainable Family Businness of the Year means a great deal to us at Sandymount Hotel. The theme of this years award is ‘resilience through generations’, making it all the more special as Director Gerard Loughran's grandfather set up the hotel over 68 years ago and the hotel is now run by father & son duo, John & Gerard Loughran.
