Grand Hotel

"NPD Europe recently held their annual Seminar at the Grand Hotel in Malahide. Both the location and the hotel contributed to the immense success of the event. The hotel management are very professional and competent and the entire staff are lovely and friendly. They are amazingly organized, excellent catering service and we were all totally impressed how they were able to turn the plenary room from a meeting room into a lovely, evening dining room – the transformation was spectacular and done in such a short space of time.    The meeting rooms and the bedrooms are clean, comfortable and a good size. I would thoroughly recommend the Grand Hotel as the perfect venue set in beautiful surroundings."

"We held a conference in the Grand Hotel for 50 delegates from around Europe.  I am pleased to say that this proved to be very successful and ran without hitch.  The delegates really enjoyed to location and all the feedback about their rooms was good.  The staff were always on hand to assist over the 2 days with any technical or other queries based on this experience I would have no hesitation to use the hotel again for similar events."

"SanDisk International have held a number of meetings at the Grand Hotel recently. The facilities are excellent and combined with the extremely helpful staff and ideal location we were thoroughly satisfied. We would have no hesitation in using the Grand for our future events.

"The Irish International Freight Association picked the Grand Hotel as the venue for our blended learning training course, which we have run successfully for the past three years. Our main attraction to the Grand Hotel was the Graham Belle Suite, a purpose built lecture theatre. We would particularly like to mention our very positive experiences with the Grand Hotel’s greatest asset – its staff. Over the last three years, both the Sales Team and Porters have gone out of their way to accommodate our needs. This was never been more apparent than during the extreme weather conditions during the winter season of 2010. Our requests to change booking dates to safely accommodate our participants were met with understanding and a willingness to help. Furthermore Porters always make themselves available before any event and ensure that our requested arrangements are put in place.

"We, the Association of Optometrists Ireland, recently held our Annual Convention in the Grand Hotel in Malahide. We chose this venue again because of its convenient location as we had delegates attending from all around the country and abroad.  The beautiful coastline scenery and nearby busy Malahide village, which has plenty of vibrant shops, restaurants and bars, provided a relaxing background for the delegates. All of the requirements for our event were provided for by the Grand Hotel in a professional manner.  The staff were friendly and extremely attentive and any requests that we had over the weekend were dealt with promptly and efficiently. All of the delegates have said that they thoroughly enjoyed the weekend in the Grand Hotel, and we at the AOI would have no hesitation in returning there in the future."

"Du Pont (UK) Limited have held a number of residential meetings at the The Grand hotel over the years and the meetings have always gone well, and this is due to the professionalism of the events and reservations teams who work hard to make all of our meetings a success. The Grand is our first choice for a hotel near Dublin, it is convenient for the airport, but in a lovely location by the sea, add to that  the excellent meeting facilities, you have a perfect meeting venue."

"I would like to thank you for all your help in the pre event planning and the on-site management, you were always very helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble.

We all felt that the event went well and was a great success, and this was mainly due to the flexibility and assistance from all the staff at the hotel. Everyone was always helpful, friendly and smiling. It was so easy to work with the hotel team, and whenever I needed anything someone would be there before I had to even call them.

Thank you again for all your hard work, and thank you to the team for all of their support and help from the moment we walked in for our site visit to the moment we left yesterday. We would not hesitate in placing another group with you."

"The Infection Prevention Society hosted a conference in the Grand Hotel recently which was attended by a large number of delegates from throughout Ireland. Initially we had concerns at locating the event outside the city centre but delegates commented on the ease of access of the venue both by public and private transport.

The staff  were very welcoming and attended with great detail to all our requirements on the day. The conference centre facilitated 250 delegates with ease and as we had a trade show this was accommodated in an adjoining area which contributed to event. Catering facilities were excellent and enjoyed by all.

Malahide is a charming village and as the sun shone some delegates enjoyed a stroll by the sea while others indulged in some retail therapy in the many lovely shops in the village."

“Ireland is a great country to hold a conference and logically most event organizers gravitate to Dublin but there’s a gem of a venue to be found in the gorgeous marina resort of Malahide, just a 20 minute taxi ride from Dublin Airport and 30 minutes from Dublin City centre.

The Grand hotel is family run and this in itself is the biggest clue to its success. The staff make you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Their hospitality is genuine and warm. The hotel’s conference and meeting room amenities are as good as any you will find and you can pretty much rest assured that the Grand’s owner, Matthew Ryan, will personally and proudly want to show off the investment he has made in the technology and support they can offer.

The 200 delegates attending my company’s international sales kick off really enjoyed their stay at the Grand and in their limited free time taking a stroll into Malahide or a coastal walk. And for those who arrived early in Ireland or chose to stay on for a few days afterwards, they also appreciated having easy access by road or train into Dublin.

Bottom line: do consider the Grand in Malahide for your business conference. I believe you will be delighted with your decision.”

“The Grand Hotel, Malahide were the Irish Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management (IIPMM) partners in hosting a series of meetings with the International Federation for Purchasing and Supply Management (IFPSM). We were apprehensive about locating this event outside Dublin City. However, the staff at The Grand, made our guests feel so welcome that they did not miss the "Big City Lights". The IFPSM were very pleased with the organisation and support for the various meetings held over the five days. This was a key opportunity to "showcase" Ireland and demonstration to an international group that Ireland was open for business. The Grand Hotel did this with great style and panache - well done!”

"Having just run a series of meetings over 5 days at the Grand Hotel, I cannot praise it highly enough. Apart from being in a charming location and an ideal base for visiting Dublin without the expense and hassle of a city centre location, it is a delightful hotel in which to stay. The staff are marvellous, focused entirely on ensuring that your needs are met as quickly and efficiently as possible. The value for money is excellent and, again, emphasises the worth of not basing oneself in the city centre. I am looking for reasons now to hold more meetings there!”
