Colm MacCarthy |  Managing Director

In 2006 construction commenced on our three star, bedroom hotel in the beautiful village of Glengariff. As the village already had two hotels and four public bars it was the utmost importance that our hotel bar restaurant should be attractive to both tourists and locals.

To whom it may concern

Angela Murphy Design Associates carried out an excellent refurbishment project on our Shamrock Irish Pub in Zürich, Switzerland. The renovations took place in March 2012. The plans drawn up by Ms. Murphy took into account all aspects discussed with her and we were more than pleased with the outcome of the renovations.

The entire refurbishment was carried out in a very professional manner from the outset to completion. The finished product was very well received by the customers of the pub. The turnover improved and the entire job was a great success.

I can highly recommend Angela Murphy Design Associates, Ms Murhpy really is an outstanding talent and a delight to work with. Should you wish to contact me directly to discuss this further I can be reached on the following mobile number:

I would like to say that working with Angela was a pleasure. The Durango project, The Irish Embassy turned out to be a wonderful and beautiful pub and is definitely a part of authentic Ireland in far flung Colorado.

From inception to completion your design and advices were exemplary and professional. She was always available to deal with builders queries as they arose even if they were slow and hesitant at times to grasp those little particularities that make a real Irish Pub that bit special.

We plan a major overhaul of our pub in Clare and her sketch designs to date reflect just what we want. We look forward to going ahead with Angela on this as soon as the economic climate improves.

To whom it may concern

On behalf of Flynn Hotels, Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited, designed the refurbishment of Kytelers Inn, Neros Night Club, The Old Ground Hotel and the Park Hotel.
We were very pleased with the professional approach of Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited from the initial contact, through to the design concept, including the attention to detail and the standard of finish.
The project team were hard working, polite and the project was completed on time.
The design concept at all the properties have met with our customers approval and we believe they have led to a significant return on investment.
The Kytelers Inn, Kilkenny won the Black & White pub of the year, where it was designed by Angela Murphy Design Associates.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Angela Murphy Design Associates Limited for future work, based on my experience.
If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me at the Imperial Hotel.
