As well as having held the position of general manager of the prestigious Brehon Hotel, Mr Bowler has also held senior management roles with the Carton House Hotel (Kildare), as well as the former Clarion Hotel Cork now the Clayton Hotel Cork City, it is clear that his experience of luxury hotels will be an important asset at the newly refurbished Montenotte Hotel.

We continue to realise the full potential of The Montenotte Hotel, and with some exciting developments in the pipeline for 2017, we are confident that Brian will deliver the highest standards of professionalism and quality that our corporate and private guests have come to enjoy at the hotel.”

Mr Wheelman added: “It’s a really exciting time to join The Montenotte Hotel, which is so visibly committed to quality and excellence. I was attracted to the vision and ambition of the hotel, which has already earned the position of a leading hotel property and I look forward to working with corporates in the Region as well as national and international visitors to ensure the highest possible standards and a truly unique hotel experience,” said Brian Bowler, newly appointed General Manager at The Montenotte Hotel.

Following a recent €5 million redevelopment, The Montenotte Hotel boasts one of the finest views in Cork city from the 6-metre Panorama Terrace, and caters for private and corporate events at the CAMEO Cinema, Conference and function rooms, as well as offering stunning interior surroundings and fully reburbished rooms and gym facilities for the business or leisure traveller.
