Popular county Waterford hotel plans for major extension works
Park Hotel, Dungarvan
The Park Hotel in Dungarvan has submitted plans for extension works to the premises.
The application outlines the intention to construct additional bedroom accommodation consisting of 21 bedrooms.
The third-storey extension above the existing rear accommodation block of the hotel is to provide for an additional 21 guest rooms, designed to cater primarily for family occupancy.
The new extension will follow the footprint of the existing block, with no changes to the existing site layout or landscaping.
The proposed works will also not involve the demolition of any part of the existing building and are considered a vertical extension only.
External finishes and architectural detailing will match the existing hotel façade to ensure visual integration and design consistency, a planning report submitted to Waterford City and County Council outlined.
“The extension aims to increase the hotel’s accommodation capacity to better meet peak seasonal demand, particularly from families seeking short to medium-stay holiday options within the town and surrounding tourist regions.
“The proposal enhances the hotel's offering, supports local tourism growth, and strengthens the position of Dungarvan as a family-friendly destination,” the report further stated.
A decision is expected from the local authority by July 21.
