The Abberley Court Hotel in Tallaght has closed suddenly, after emptying the place of customers and guests.

Statement from their Facebook page:

"It is with very heavy hearts and sadness that we announce The Abberley Court Hotel Dublin and Entourage Nightclub have ceased trading as of midday today. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers over the past 20+ years. Please be respectful of all our management and staff who have just become unemployed at this difficult time."

Wonder what it's all about.
The Abberley was always a great oul spot for a drink and a dance and it was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, both here and abroad.

Are you joking? I stayed there once when visiting home and it was a dump. The pub is alright, I remember when the nightclub was level 4, not the greatest!

Nama shut it down

They had staff knock on guests staying there and were kindly asked to vacate immediately. An hour later 70 staff were laid off /dismissed

Seems a bit dramatic, especially at start of a long weekend, arrive at midday, sack staff, tell guests to leave, lock place up.

Rediculous considering the bar has a lot of trade including hot lunches and the club is jammers every weekend

Obviously more to this story

NAMA will re open it in time, as they did with many other hotels around the country.

It will probably be called the Tallaght Strategy Court.

Very sorry for the staff, not much notice there.. And the guests will have to find somewhere else on a Bank Holiday weekend.

I wonder what will happen to those guests who are out and about, and come back to find the place closed.

Someone knew this was about to happen. Madness there was not notification to anyone.

There was no need to shut it down so it could be put on the market in several months time .could have easily sold it as a going concern and give the staff a chance

Or at least throw the track suit bottoms in the dryer.

OP as you can see, AH isn't the place for this thread.

Please try the appropriate regional forum. Thank you.
