A 4 Star Hotel
Welcome to Shannon Springs Hotel, a 4-star haven nestled in the heart of Shannon, County Clare.

Our Story
Shannon Springs Hotel has been a cornerstone of hospitality in Shannon since its establishment. Originally opened as Shannon Court Hotel, the property quickly became a popular choice for both business and leisure travellers due to its proximity to Shannon International Airport.
In 2016, the hotel underwent a significant transformation when it was acquired by Dermot Kelly and John Gavin, two seasoned hoteliers with a shared vision of revitalising the property and enhancing its offerings. Dermot Kelly, a graduate of GMIT, and John Gavin, an alumnus of the Shannon College of Hotel Management, brought their extensive experience and passion for the hospitality industry to the hotel. Their commitment to excellence and innovation led to a comprehensive refurbishment, elevating Shannon Springs Hotel to new heights of comfort and style.
A key part of the hotel’s charm is that it is home to The award-winning Old Lodge Gastro Pub, a beloved gathering place for both guests and the local community. Known for its warm atmosphere, quality food, and friendly service, The Old Lodge Gastro Pub has become a fixture in Shannon, reflecting the hotel’s dedication to combining comfort, hospitality, and a strong sense of local connection.
Under Dermot and John’s ownership, Shannon Springs Hotel has flourished, earning accolades such as the Irish Hotel Awards’ Airport Hotel of the Year in 2019 and 2023. Their dedication to quality service, guest satisfaction, and community engagement has solidified Shannon Springs Hotel’s reputation as one of the region’s leading hotels, offering a unique blend of modern comfort and local character.
