The Doyle Collection

The Doyle Collection is a group of luxury hotels previously known as Jurys Doyle Hotels. It comprises eleven hotels in six cities in Ireland, the UK and the USA.

History

The group's origins lie in the foundation of Doyle Hotels by Pascal Vincent Doyle, who opened his first hotel, the Montrose, in Dublin in 1964. In 1999 Jurys acquired Doyle Hotels and became the Jurys Doyle Hotel Group, the largest hotel group in Ireland. It comprised the Jurys Inn chain of middle-market hotels as well as the Jurys Doyle properties, but the former were sold in 2007.

Re-branding

In 2008, after divesting the Jurys Inn hotels, Jurys Doyle became The Doyle Collection and announced the withdrawal of the Jurys Doyle brand. The re-branding was intended to reposition the group in the luxury hotels market, and also involved the complete refurbishment of nine of its 11 properties.

Eight of The Doyle Collection's hotels are freehold properties, and three are held under operational leases.
