Vienna woods12/29/2023 ![]() Vienna Woods Country House Hotel, on 22 acres of woodland in Glanmire, is a 15-minute drive from Cork City centre. The extension will not interfere with the original house, a listed building dating back to 1756. “So getting to turnkey on this will be considerably less than if it was a greenfield site.” Mr Magner said Vienna Woods was in “a very comfortable position” as regards expansion, as they would be “plugging into an existing facility” rather than building from scratch. Once the project is up and running, it’s expected to create 50 new jobs and add €1.8m to the local economy in wages and salaries. The grant of planning permission comes with 23 conditions “none of which are onerous”, Mr Magner said. Two single-storey extensions will be added to the sides of the hotel to create a new lobby and a new pre-reception space, as well as an extension to the dining room.Ī three-storey extension is planned over the ground-floor ballroom to accommodate the extra bedrooms as well as the spa, with a terrace at third-floor level. Mr Magner, who owns the hotel with his father-in-law Brian Scully, is also planning to add a spa, as well as a 25-seat cinema, a virtual golf facility, and a cardio workout/gym area. The expansion, which will add 42 bedrooms to the existing 45, will be the second major investment in the hotel, which has already undergone a €5m upgrade since 2006. “All going well, we would hope to start work in the fourth quarter of this year,” Mr Magner said. The next step would be to “take stock of the post-pandemic environment” and to make sure the funds are there to cover the costs. 18491914 The hilly forested landscape known as the Vienna Woods is the north-easternmost part of the Alpine chain and extends to the western and northern edges of Vienna.
