The Butler Arms Hotel in Waterville on the Ring of Kerry: the 60-bedroom hotel has been in operation for more than 100 years under four generations of the Huggard family, who recently made the decision to sell the property

Paddy McKillen jr’s Press Up group has acquired the Butler Arms Hotel in Waterville, Co Kerry, for an undisclosed amount.

Located on the seafront in the picturesque village on the Ring of Kerry coastline, the 60-bedroom hotel has been in operation for more than 100 years under four generations of the Huggard family, who recently made the decision to sell the property.

“It will be business as usual under the new ownership, with no closures planned and no impact to the current employees,” a spokeswoman for Press Up group told the Business Post.
