Staff and guests at The Whistledown Hotel in Warrenpoint are marking a very special occasion this month as the award-winning hotel celebrates its 30th anniversary.
The Whistledown welcomed its first guests in 1994 and has become a cherished landmark on the shores of Carlingford Lough, renowned for its commitment to excellence, coastal charm, and guest satisfaction.
To celebrate the hotel’s 30th birthday, the hotel team is hosting a series of events including a Bridgerton-themed 30th birthday party, a decadent ‘spill the tea’ afternoon and a range of special offers and discounts.
The Bridgerton-themed birthday party was inspired by one of the Netflix show’s main characters, Lady Whistledown. The event featured Bridgerton-themed cocktails, live entertainment and a glimpse at the hotel’s 30-year history.
In addition to the events and offers, the hotel team is also continuing its support of the local community. The Whistledown Hotel is planning a range of charity initiatives, workshops and events to give back and celebrate the support that has been instrumental in the hotel’s success over the last 30 years.
One of the community programmes run by the hotel is a forget-me-not afternoon tea - a bi-weekly event to support Alzheimer’s and Dementia patients, their families and carers.
Hotel owners, Sarah and Colum McAvoy, said: “Reaching 30 years is a remarkable milestone, and it’s all thanks to our incredible team and loyal customers. We are deeply grateful for the support we’ve received over the years. Our commitment to providing outstanding service remains as strong as ever, and we look forward to continuing to exceed our team’s expectations for many years to come.”
The Whistledown Hotel has achieved numerous awards throughout its history, including recent nominations in Newry Chamber Awards for Hospitality Team of the Year and Best Family Business team.
One of the longest serving members of the team is David Lawless, who has worked at the hotel for 30 years. He added: “I’ve enjoyed a long and successful career at the hotel and I’m excited for the many events we have planned for our guests and our team. It’s been an honour to be part of the Whistledown Hotel’s journey and I’m looking forward to many more happy years here.” Anthony Boyle, Head Chef at the Whistledown Hotel, has been with the company for 28 years, along with Shane O’Hare, second-chef, there for 25 years.
