History
Of The Shamrock Lodge Hotel
Deep Rooted History
History
The house began its life as the home of Michael Monks in 1814. It was established as an Athlone hotel in 1951 by the late Mr. Frank Coen and was later owned by the Colgan family. Over the years it has been owned and operated by various families, with its current owner, Mr. Paddy McCaul, purchasing it in 1994.
The hotel is strongly supported locally in Athlone and underwent a redevelopment in 2005 adding 40 Deluxe and Superior Bedrooms and 12 two bedroom suites which are the very best accommodation Athlone has to offer. The redevelopment also included renovations to bar and lobby areas as well as a new function and conference room.

Stories From Our Customers
A wonderful stay !
The welcome, warmth and appreciation for our custom reminded me of an Ireland I thought we had lost where everything has become so profit driven; customers in this establishment are made feel at home from the moment of arrival to departure.

Most incredible day
We cannot recommend the Shamrock Lodge Hotel highly enough. We had the most incredible and special day of our lives, and all of the staff could not have been more helpful. Every single staff member had a beaming smile on their face all day and would do anything to help anyone.
