We’re Seeing Stars – Four of Them!

Apr 4, 2025

We’re proud to share some exciting news…Dillons Hotel has officially been awarded four-star status by Fáilte Ireland!

This milestone is a huge moment for us here at Dillons and a proud achievement within the McKeever Hotels group. It’s a recognition of the hard work, investment, and dedication our entire team has put into creating an outstanding experience for every guest who walks through our doors.

Since joining McKeever Hotels in 2014, we’ve undergone a major transformation. With over €4 million invested in upgrades to our public areas, bedrooms, stylish new suites, and the addition of a fitness centre, the hotel has been completely reimagined to reflect the quality and service that now defines us.

Fáilte Ireland recognised these efforts, along with our strong product offering and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience, in upgrading our rating from three to four stars. We’re now proud to say that we are the only four-star hotel on Letterkenny’s main street—a milestone that truly sets us apart.

To celebrate, we recently hosted a launch event right here at the hotel, welcoming valued stakeholders, industry partners, and members of the media for a special evening to mark the occasion and preview our newest upgrades.

Eddie McKeever, Managing Director of McKeever Hotels, had this to say:

“Our four-star rating from Fáilte Ireland is a true reflection of the dedication, passion and hard work of our entire team. It not only commends the exceptional service we provide, but also the unforgettable experiences we aim to offer every guest.

This milestone is particularly special as we are now the only four-star hotel on the main street of Letterkenny. Today, we’re delighted to extend a warm Donegal welcome to our guests and stakeholders, inviting them to join us in celebrating and enjoying a sneak peek of the newest upgrades.”

Joan Crawford, Manager of the Wild Atlantic Way with Fáilte Ireland, also commented:

“This award is a testament to the commitment and excellence demonstrated by the team at Dillons Hotel. Their dedication to providing outstanding hospitality not only enhances the visitor experience but also strengthens Donegal’s position as a premier tourism destination.”

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved—and even more excited for what’s to come.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Here’s to continuing to raise the bar for hospitality in Donegal and beyond!
