The Doyle Collection

The Doyle Collection is a group of hotels previously known as Jurys Doyle Hotels. It comprises eight hotels in five cities in Ireland, the UK and the US.

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, the Jurys hotel group acquired Doyle Hotels and became the Jurys Doyle Hotel Group, the largest hotel group in Ireland.[1] It initially comprised the Jurys Inn chain of middle-market hotels as well as the Jurys Doyle properties, the former being sold in 2007.

In 2008, after divesting the Jurys Inn chain of 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 refurbishment of nine of its eleven properties.[2][3]

In 2013, The Doyle Collection sold three of its US hotels, including two in Washington DC (The Courtyard Hotel and The Normandy Hotel) and one in Boston (The Back Bay Hotel). As of 2020, the group comprises eight hotels in five cities.

Management

Pascal Vincent Doyle's daughter, Bernie Gallagher, is chairman of the board of directors. Two other daughters also sit on the board. Pat King, formerly chief financial officer of The Doyle Collection, is chief executive.[4][5]
