The hotel celebrated its Centenary in 1997, and also achieved its 4 star status in that year. Over the years many additions and developments have been undertaken at the hotel; the addition of new Resort bedrooms and a magnificent new Spa in 2006 being the most significant in its history. The History of the Slieve Donard Resort and Spa Famous Guests For over a century the hotel has witnessed a massive ensemble of VIPS and Celebrities who have enjoyed the chic style and hospitality of ‘The Slieve’. Former guests at the hotel include: Percy French: Charlie Chaplin: King Leopold (of Belgium): Alan Whicker: Judith Chalmers: Dame Judi Dench: Angela Rippon: Sir Alf Ramsey: Jack Charlton: Frank Bough: Daniel O’Donnell to name but a few. In more recent times they’ve also had visits from Eamonn Holmes: Archbishop Tutu: Michael Jordan: Tiger Woods: Michael Douglas: Catherine Zeta Jones: Lee Janzen: Jack Nicklaus: Gary Player: Arnold Palmer and The Miami Dolphins.

Rostrevor and Killowen
Rostrevor and Killowen Village Renewal and Development Plan (September 2012) Addendum and Updated Action Plan: November 2017 The Village Renewal and Development Plan review was funded under Priority 6 (LEADER) of the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme 2014- 2020 by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and the European Union, and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. 1. Introduction The Village Renewal and Development Plan (Village Plan) was produced for Rostrevor in 2012. This has now been reviewed and updated by the community in conjunction with Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. The review has taken the form of an addendum to the Village Plan and should be read in conjunction with it. The addendum includes an updated Action Plan (see Section 2), which identifies which projects and initiatives have been implemented since the original plan was published and highlights projects which could be focused on over the next phase of implementation. Ove Arup and Partners (Arup) was appointed as the consultancy team to facilitate the review and update of the Action Plan. This update has been facilitated by a stakeholder workshop. The outcome of this is an updated Action Plan which includes a range of projects and initiatives that we believe will have a real impact on the area. The review of the Village Plan was funded under Priority 6 (LEADER) of the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs and the European Union, and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. The Rural Development Programme uses the LEADER approach which adopts a community led model to assist rural communities to improve the quality of life and economic prosperity in their local area, through the allocation of funds based on local need. -
