Property advisor, Savills Ireland, has been instructed to seek proposals from experienced operators for the Gateway Hotel. The opportunity is available under either an occupational lease or hotel management agreement. Strategically located along the Causeway Coastal Route, just minutes from the Giant’s Causeway, the Gateway Hotel is likely to benefit from exceptional tourism footfall. Once complete, it will also offer bar and restaurant facilities, and event/function space – ideally suited for weddings, celebrations and tour group business. Neal Morrison, director of commercial advisory at Savills Northern Ireland, commented: "The Gateway Hotel presents an exciting opportunity for hotel operators to establish a strategic foothold in one of Northern Ireland’s most vibrant and expanding tourism destinations. "With proximity to the Giant’s Causeway and a strong development vision, we expect strong interest from hotel operators."
