In June 2026, John Burke of Armada and Gerry Quinn of Fiddle + Bow became custodians of The Hydro Hotel, a Lisdoonvarna landmark since 1875. A five-year restoration programme is now underway, preserving the hotel’s heritage while thoughtfully reimagining it for a new generation. In the heart of Lisdoonvarna, Hydro Hotel is an ideal base for exploring the Burren, Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands and the Wild Atlantic Way. Working with the local community, businesses and producers, the hotel celebrates authentic Irish hospitality and the very best of North Clare.
