Ashford Castle Hotel: 8 centuries in the making
Ashford Castle, formerly Cong Castle, became a hotel on July 6, 1939.
The long and storied history of Ashford Castle began in 1228. The castle once served as a fortress for soldiers before passing, years later, into the hands of the Guinness family, and finally becoming a hotel in 1939.
Red Carnation Hotels purchased Ashford Castle and undertook extensive renovations from 2013- 2015.
