CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL, Dundalk
The Wedding Garden
The Wedding Garden, adjacent to the hotel restaurant and bar is an attractive addition to the guest facilities. An existing water feature was incorporated into the design. Stone blocks and a pergola are strong visual elements providing focal points in the garden. Mature planting and the use of chipped slate and gravel add colour, texture and year round interest.
