Mark Flynn of Pro Auction said: “This is the biggest auction sale of an entire hotel in Europe and a wonderful opportunity to acquire quality furnishings, particularly for a smaller hotel chain that aspires to Jurys Ballsbridge standards. The Ballsbridge property was constantly upgraded over its lifetime to maintain its market leading standing. Potential buyers can now recreate the ambiance and good taste of this fine establishment either by buying the entire contents of the bedrooms, or a portion on a room by room basis. The sale will attract many and will be of particular interest to participants in the hospitality and catering business as literally everything will be sold. Early indications are of a very lively buying interest.”
