Hotels

The majority of Dalata hotels are operated under their Maldron or Clayton brands, for 3-star and 4-star properties respectively. The Clayton name comes from an originally independent hotel acquired in Galway in 2014. A significant single expansion for the group was the purchase of nine of the ten hotels of the Moran Bewleys Hotel Group in 2014. These were subsequently rebranded to the Maldron or Clayton brands. Properties operated under the Clayton Hotels brand include the Clayton Hotel, Limerick (one of the tallest hotels in Ireland), and the Clayton Burlington Hotel, Dublin (formerly the Burlington, and now owned by a German real estate group). In Cork, the Clayton Hotel Cork City (formerly the Clarion Hotel), was acquired by the group in 2016.
