| The impressive Victorian building was erected in the mid-19th century, when it served as a home to the Hackett family. Members of this family include Dr. Hackett, a friend and supporter of Charles Stuart Parnell during the Land Wars of the 1880s, acclaimed biographer Francis Hackett (1883-1962) and his sister, the novelist Frances Hackett (1884-1963). In 1901, the property was leased to the Hibernian Bank, who rebuilt and extended the structure over the next 4 years. When the Hibernian Bank was subsumed into the Bank of Ireland during the 1960s, the building was acquired by the Avonmore Food Group. The present owners purchased the property in 1998 and, following an extensive renovation of the building, the Hibernian Hotel opened its doors in May 2000. |
