But that was when Capella Castlemartyr first opened - different hotel, different management, different guests.
Same is true of R-C Powerscourt. R-C is no longer what it was and the Irish economy can no longer support those early rack rates, which means Powerscourt has dumbed down on most levels. It remains a good hotel, but not a truly high-end good hotel.
