Mulranny Park Hotel– it’s colourful past, present and future.

• The Railway Station at Mulranny was built and open in 1894 by Great Western Railways


• In order to make Mulranny a Tourist destination they decided to build a hotel which opened in 1897.


• The luxurious Great Western Hotel opened at Mulranny in 1897 and a combined rail and hotel ticket was available. This is one of the first examples in Ireland of the bundled ticket.
 The hotel was equipped with every modern convenience of the time, including electric light, and by 1900 hot and cold water baths were also available.


• Tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool were added in later years.


• Realising that the tourists needed access to the beach area a Causeway was built, funded by the Railway company to enable people to access the beach area. Hotel patrons had access to sandy beaches and the use of the hotel's boats and golf links.


• In the 1930s, as the roads improved and cars became more common, trains became less popular, and Midland Great Western Railways began to discuss closing down the Westport - Achill line. In 1934 the passenger service was closed, although it was reopened temporarily 1936 while road repairs were in progress. Freight trains continued to run until 1937. In 1937, when the Kirkintilloch Disaster claimed 10 Achill victims, the train again took the bodies home. The last train ran on Thursday 30th September 1937.


• The Hotel at Mulranny remained prosperous for many years and its spectacular location featured high in its successful market attributes. It boasts many famous guests including John Lennon and Yoko Ono who visited in June 1968.
