“One to be noticed.....................Celia Zwahlen visits the Osprey complex to find that its design and concept have been planned to fulfil the needs of any event.
When I walked through the glass doors into the lobby of the Osprey Hotel, I felt instantly that I had stepped into a business environment. A few groups of people had gathered around clusters of tables to debate ideas over a cup of tea – client and advisor closing a deal, colleagues agreeing on a strategy, team partners developing a concept. All this activity seemed to flow naturally with the hotel’s contemporary design, which blends quirky decor with state-of-the-art facilities. I too joined in the business activity as I sat down with Eimear Winters, Sales & Marketing Manager of the four star hotel complex. We discussed how the complex with its hotel, spa, venue and business centre is perfectly suited to cater for the corporate market. Many of the large multinationals that are based in the Kildare area often hire its facilities to hold their conferences, training days or corporate events.” Business & Finance Conference Guide, Spring 2008

“Luxury at every turn........due to high demand further investment has been made in the Osprey conference centre over the past year which has seen the addition of two new meeting rooms called the “Merlin” and the “Fulmar” suites. This has created a 40% increase in the centre’s overall capacity offering clients a total of 18 meeting rooms.” March 2008
 
 

“Hotels: key to industry................this is one important reason why the Osprey was established in Naas, Co. Kildare. While Naas is one of the fastest growing towns in Europe, it lacked a place where people could live, work and play in the same environment. And thus the Osprey emerged from the vision of a superb self-contained hub for business, leisure, pleasure and the rest..............The complex constantly upgrades facilities to suit evolving demands in the conferencing and incentive market.” Issue 1 2008

“The Osprey Complex includes a four star Osprey Hotel, Osprey Spa, life: health & leisure, time: bar & venue, Osprey Business Campus and the Osprey Conference centre....................it is located in the heart of the thoroughbred county and is surrounded by the major jewels in Kildare’s crown, such as Mondello racetrack, Punchestown racecourse and the chic shopping outlet, Kildare Village.” March 2008
 
 

“..Winters referring to the facilities on offer at the Osprey Hotel and Spa, notes that, by offering spa facilities in combination with leisure facilities such as a gym and swimming pool, guests are offered a complete “well being package”, which is often particularly attractive to men who want to improve their fitness as part of their planned rejuvenation. However, with the growing popularity of spas, the Irish market is in danger of becoming saturated........................
It will be those spas who stay ahead of the competition by implementing innovation combined with unique selling points, high levels of service, value
for money and unique attention to detail that will be successful, says Winters of the Osprey Hotel and Spa.” February 2008
