I’ve compiled this short history of Daly’s (Imperial) Hotel ownership. Please amend or add to.
The hotel is supposedly operating since 1720 and has gone through various owners although I don’t see it included in Pigot’s Directory, 1824. It was known as Daly’s Hotel in 1854. After the Dalys owned it an Edward Reid was proprietor in 1911 and operated under the name Imperial Hotel (James Daly died in 1911). Frank P. Pelly and his family took over management of the Imperial Hotel from the 1920s to the 1950s. Paddy Jennings was proprietor in the 1960s. Mrs. Mary Jennings, his wife, had it until John and Amanda Syron bought it in 1995. New owners came in in 2003. I think it was John McHale (of Johnny McHale’s pub). Mayo Co. Co. and Castlebar Town Council then bought it in 2011.
Have I left anyone out?
