One of Ireland’s most exclusive hotels, the 134-bedroomed K Club in Co Kildare has been offered to the State for free to help in the Covid-19 battle. The K Club, which has operated as a luxury hotel for the past 29 years and employs approximately 230 people, was closed to guests from March 17th as a result of coronavirus. Mr Fetherston’s primary business interest is the TLC nursing homes group, which owns and operates five facilities in the greater Dublin area. All of the hotel’s room will be used to house patients, or medical staff treating them, the business website, The Currency first reported on Friday. Meanwhile, the hotel’s 11,000 metres of event centre and conference rooms will be used to house patients requiring treatment.
