The multi-award winning Killeen House Hotel, in Aghadoe, Killarney, has been sold to local businessman Patrick Eviston.
The new owner is a local, second-generation hotelier who already owns and operates the Eviston House Hotel and Brook Lodge Hotel.
Killeen House Hotel owners Michael and Geraldine Rosney are retiring after more than three decades of ownership.
The new management will commence today and all existing and future bookings and vouchers will be honoured under the new ownership.
The 23-bedroom hotel, a former rectory for the nearby historical church, was built in 1838. Since opening as a hotel in 1992, it has won many national and international awards for its charm, cuisine and unique guest experience.
Commenting on the sale, Geraldine and Michael Rosney said: “We would like to thank all the guests who came to visit us time and time again.

“We would also like to express our gratitude to all those wonderful people who have worked with us over the course of the last 30 years and have helped to make so many special memories for everyone, sending guests home happy with memories that will last a lifetime”.
The Rosneys also thanked the local Killarney community and their quality local suppliers for their support over the years.
The hotel’s restaurant, Rozzers, has been in Ireland’s top 10 fine dining restaurants on TripAdvisor for a number of years.
Under head chef Paul O’Gorman, it was named Ireland’s top fine dining restaurant in 2019, 2021 and 2022.
Paul, who has been with the hotel for 27 years, will remain in his role and is looking forward to the future under new ownership.
