Hilton Cuts Ties With Limerick

International hotel chain Hilton has pulled out of Limerick less than 18 months after arriving in the city, it was confirmed to the Limerick Leader this Monday morning.

The group - who manage what once was the Jury's Hotel in the city, on the the Ennis Road, adjacent to the Sarsfield Bridge - have reached an agreement to hand the management onto the Strand Hotel, which will take effect from next week.

The Hilton logo will be removed from the landmark location, and The Strand Hotel will begin to operate from next Tuesday. All the staff were informed of the takeover over the weekend, and it was confirmed that no jobs will be lost.
