Spitbank Fort – the first of three abandoned 18th century coastal defense forts in the Solent off Portsmouth to be redeveloped for tourism.

Spitbank is a luxury 8-berth hotel with spa, firepit, recreation room and outdoor heated pool. Horse Sands Fort is now a museum and No Man’s Land Fort is currently being developed into an even larger luxury hotel.

The set up…

DUBLIN’S BURLINGTON Hotel, bought by property developer Bernard McNamara at the peak of the property boom in 2007 for €288 million, is back on the market with a guide price of €65-€75 million.

Mr McNamara has been one of the biggest casualties of the property crash with overall debts of €1.5 billion.

And now. The punchline…

Paul Collins, of CBRE Hotels, said yesterday there had been a remarkable recovery in the Dublin hotel market, and city hotels were now among the best-performing in Europe.

Beautiful.
