There is also the Glasshouse in the City Centre which only opened last week.
No website yet.

Enjoy your stay!

The Glasshouse has just opened. It's owned by the Gleneagles group. It looks really swish. It hasn't got a leisure center, but it is right in the heart of the town, within a five minute walk of all the pubs, clubs and most of the restaurants. I haven't been in it yet (it's only open a fortnight), but I hear good things.

I stayed in the Glasshouse last week, very swish indeed. Service was rubbish but as they say themselves, they're only just finding their feet. By Feb they should have it sorted - hopefully. Its very contempory, and the food was great.

Was in the Glasshouse a week or two back for a few drinks... didn't like it much at all.

Looks nice from the outside but the biggest design fault is probably the massive gaps between couches making it near impossible to have a conversation with someone across the table if speaking under 3000 decibels!

Give it time and you may be glad to have it that way

A few members of the westlife group were in at the weekend with their entourage, I heard that lots of free champagne was given to them, it seems the more money you have the more freebies you get.:mad:

Gillie

Oh boo hoo!

Question. Has anything they've done (Shane, Mark and Kian) harmed Sligo or the northwest in any way? Quite the oppisite im sure.

If its just about Money, there are a lot of ppl around who don't give a rats ass about other ppl - Unlike the westlife lads. They are never too busy to talk to fans or sign autographs.

So what if they got free drinks.

I was just making the general observation that if you are famous and wealthy a lot of free goods and services seem to be given to you. I wasn`t having a go at wastealife more the fact that the hotel was pandering to the celeb culture of freebies where ever they go. I am sure the boys are very kind to their mum and furry animals as well. I have always liked them though I think they were never the same after that guy Ronan left.

Sorry to go way off topic there, The Glasshouse is a stunning looking place both inside and out and i am sure the service will get better as the hotel gets busier and the staff get more confidence. It is worth a trip just to see that mad carpet in reception. The website is up and running now www.theglasshouse.ie, well worth a look.

Gillie

Fair enough. I would like to add that I was in no way saying that Westlife or anyone else deserves freebies etc
It is true in some circles that money is everything but not always!
Some ppl refuse it!

I like the glasshouse. There are a lot of ppl who don't.
It's very plush!
Website looks good too!

Can I answer that one? Theres far too many houses (new builds) packed in at the entrance of Dromahair that I believe one of those nice lads have been involved in. The entrance of the village now housing estate in my view anyway.


Re Hotels in sligo, the xmas do at Markery castle was nice!

Listen up guys - the last few posts on this thread haven't exactly been on topic and you can all clearly see with tuppence's post where this leads with a new user who thinks - ah what the heck, everyone else is straying so I may as well make a proper job of it.

I've been patient up to now but we all need to sharpen up a bit.

@tuppence...... I was going to delete your post and issue a yellow card but I will leave it in it's entirety so other users can see how a simple question by the OP can evoke replies that are so twisted that they are not recognised as being in any way relevant to the original question. As you are new here I will leave it at that but please take heed of what is permissible when posting.

In any event this thread has run its course so I'm locking it.
