Description

The Armada Hotel in county Clare is to create 100 new jobs, as part of a €3 million redevelopment project of the hotel. The refurbishment and expansion of the hotel, as well as the recruitment, are expected to be completed by February 2022. The recruitment drive is 'The Quest for Ireland's Best'. The hotel has opened its own recruitment agency in a beach hut by the sea at Spanish Point. Thirty of the new roles will be in hospitality.

The project was placed on hold last year due to the pandemic. A new 90-seater restaurant with a sustainable energy kitchen and an ocean bar will be built. There will also be a private dining area for parties.
