First Lisburn hotel officially opened

25 September 2009 -

The latest accommodation in Northern Ireland has been opened to great fanfare in Lisburn.

Jeffrey Domaldson MP officially opened the new Premier Inn hotel and Linen House restaurant, which is the first ever hotel in Lisburn.

As well as providing visitors with a great place to stay, the establishment will be serving up some of the tastiest food in Northern Ireland and general manager Jill Moore said she is thrilled that the £5 million, 60-bedroom building has finally opened.

"Lisburn is a fantastic city with much to offer visitors and locals alike so it was an obvious location for us to open our newest hotel and restaurant. We're delighted and privileged to be the first hotel for Lisburn," she explained.

Those staying at the hotel will soon be able to sample some of the finest events in Northern Ireland, as a farmers' market taking place in the Castle Gardens on October 3rd is set to feature food stalls, horse rides and music.
