Gallagher Hotels relaunch two hotels on St Patrick’s Day

Gallagher Hotels has relaunched two of its hotels on the Central Coast and Ryde after a major refresh.

Patrick Gallagher’s group (GHM) bought the Royal Hotel at Ryde in 2014 for around $18 million, before transforming it into one of the group’s signature PJ Gallagher branded venues. 

Simultaneously, the Terrigal Hotel launched a new look inspired by the Hamptons on St Patrick’s Day. Gallagher says GHM they still have big plans on the horizon. 

“We’re about to spend a lot of money on both the Union and Hunters Hill,” he said. “They’re not complete redevelopments, but they are getting a bit tired. 

The group picked up Chatwood’s Chelsea Hotel from Solotel last April. 

“[We] want to reposition that entirely as the brand seems a bit unknown,” he said. “We want to thicken it a bit, give it a bit of recognition. It’s going to get a complete overhaul.”
