About us...
90 years on from the original opening of Corr's Corner
This family-run
hotel in Northern Ireland
has been transformed beyond recognition from the former
roadhouse which
Eugene McKeever purchased from John Corr in 1993. Following almost a 4
million pound investment, this
Hotel Northern Ireland now boasts
68 bedrooms,
a new extended
grill
bar and
restaurant, a
function suite
and eight conference rooms providing great
conference
facilities in Antrim.
However, the major expansion is not the only reason the hotelier has to
be proud - he has transformed himself from an employee of Corr's Corner
into its successful owner.
Eugene started working part-time at Corr's Corner
Antrim Hotel
at the tender age of 12 and three years later when he left school, he
became a full-time chef. For 17 years Eugene worked his way up to head
chef, whilst studying for his exams at Corr's Corner before leaving in
1986 to open his own business. Just seven years later, he was given the
opportunity to purchase Corr's Corner
Hotel in Antrim
and in 1993 he returned once again, this time as the owner.A major
decision that the businessman made was to add
hotel accommodation
onto the roadhouse, opening 30 bedrooms in 1997. In July 2006 it was
time to transform and expand the property once again to open up new
markets and service the growing demand. The project was finally
completed in September 2008.
