Martin Mangan

Martin Mangan has been appointed general manager of Carton House, a Fairmont Managed Hotel.

One of the most significant and historic country house hotels in Ireland, it will join the Accor-owned brand following its reopening in June.

"This summer the multimillion-euro total renovation of Carton House will be unveiled, and I am delighted to join at this incredible moment to usher in the next chapter of one of Ireland's oldest estates," said Mangan.

"The renovation over the last two years has been significant, bringing the estate back to the heights of its great house splendour, magnificently refurbishing historic state rooms and preparing the hotel for hospitality on a grand scale, just as this imposing estate was originally intended."

Mangan brings 25 years of luxury hospitality experience from leading hotels in London and Dublin.

A former president of the Irish Hospitality Institute (IHF), past chairman of the Dublin branch of the Irish Hotels Federation, and a current National Council Member of the IHF, he was also chairman of the Dublin Tourism Marketing Taskforce.
