Ireland's largest hotel operator Dalata Hotel Group has created 50 new jobs with the official opening of its first Maldron Hotel in London.
The four-star Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park is the group’s 53rd hotel across the UK, Ireland and Continental Europe.
It is the first of five new Maldron Hotels set to open across the UK in the next 12 months.
Dalata Hotel Group, which also operates Clayton Hotels, bought the ready-to-open 191-bedroom hotel at Finsbury Park for £44.3million and invested a further £4.1 million.
"Following a successful partial opening in July we are now up to full capacity and looking forward to welcoming even more guests," said Kirsty Monington, General Manager at the Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park.
With a growing presence in the UK and continental Europe, Dalata Hotel Group said it has ambitious plans to open Maldron Hotels in other locations including Shoreditch in South Central London, Brighton, Liverpool as well as adding a second Maldron Hotel in Manchester.
Dermot Crowley, Dalata Hotel Group CEO described London as one of the world’s great cities.
"We are very proud to open Maldron Hotel Finsbury Park, the brand’s first hotel to open in London.
"But with Maldron Hotel Shoreditch opening early next year, it won’t be on its own for long," he said.
