HISTORY OF THE CASTLE HOTEL DUBLIN

The original house Mount Mapas was built in 1740 by Col. John Mapas, although records show that a building or buildings stood here at a much earlier date. By 1755, it was acquired by a Captain Maunsell, who was succeeded by a Colonel Loftus in 1770.

In the 20th century, Killiney Castle was used by the Black & Tans, the IRA and the Republicans in the civil war before being burnt by Free State Troops. It was requisitioned by the Government during the 1939-45 period and used as billets for the army.

Killiney Castle exchanged hands again, with the late Paddy and Eithne Fitzpatrick taking over the helm in the 1970s, transforming it into a first-class hotel and re-naming it Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel. Today, their daughter Eithne Fitzpatrick Scott-Lennon owns the hotel and, together with her family, continues to guide the way to its continued success, whilst maintaining the original castle charm and Irish welcome long associated with the Castle.
