| The
Curragh Racecourse Hotel is the first phase of a broader masterplan to
redevelop the public enclosures at the Curragh.
The brief was to provide a 72 bed hotel to a 4 star rating
with large restaurant, bar facilities and leisure centre.The building
is simply organised with 3 floors of bedrooms over 2 floors of leisure
and restaurant/bar/reception spaces.
The building looks
to the south over the racecourse with balconies and stepped terraced lawns
providing viewing points on race days. The intention is that the building
will sit alongside and link into the main grandstand and will enable conferences,
exhibitions and events to take place on non race days but will also function
efficiently on race days.
