As Ireland’s most iconic restaurant, The Pullman has built a legacy of nostalgic hospitality within the grounds of the beautiful Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate. From 5th January to early March 2025, The Pullman will temporarily close to undergo an exciting transformation. During The Pullman's remarkable renewal phase, Glenlo’s commitment to hospitality shines through The River Room restaurant, which offers a scenic view of Lough Corrib. Thanks to the new Pullman culinary team, the restaurant will provide a fine dining experience, giving diners a sneak preview of what is to come during this transitional period.
Featuring two original carriages from the Orient Express, this historic Pullman train has become a charming restaurant car on the hotel grounds, preserving its unique character. Previously, it was located at Elsenham Station in Hertfordshire, England, before becoming part of the diverse offerings at Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate. The Restoration works will retain many of the carriages' original details, including the intricate wooden architrave and light fittings for which the carriages are renowned. The refreshed interiors will take design cues from contemporary carriages, and the exterior will be transformed to mirror the classical glamour of the new interiors.
Not only will the changes be aesthetic, but major happenings will be onboard, with an exciting new culinary team led by Head Chef Angelo Vagiotis. Angelo will further elevate the food experience, coupled with the refurbished interiors, allowing The Pullman to become more sophisticated in its stature, style, and overall offering, clearly defining its ultimate destination.
