Five Generations of the Windle, May and Cole Families Revisit Their Waterford Favourite: The Granville Hotel to enjoy Winterval 2025.

The Granville Hotel was delighted to welcome back the Cole family this past weekend as they continued a cherished tradition spanning five generations. The family returned to their favourite Waterford destination to enjoy the festive atmosphere of Winterval and to relive treasured memories within the historic city-centre hotel.

The Cole family’s relationship with the Granville Hotel stretches back decades, with each generation choosing the landmark property as their destination in the city. This most recent stay brought the youngest members of the family, marking another joyful chapter in their long-standing connection.

“Welcoming families like the Coles back year after year, and across generations, is what makes the Granville so special,” said Ann Cusack, co-founder of  the Granville Hotel. “We are honoured to be part of their family story and look forward to creating many more memorable experiences with them.”

Located on Meagher’s Quay in Waterford City, Granville Hotel celebrates 45 years this year and continues to combine its rich heritage, the birthplace of Thomas Francis Meagher with warm Irish hospitality, offering the perfect base to enjoy beautifully designed bedrooms, award winning breakfast and the relaxed atmosphere of the Bianconi Restaurant, the magic of Winterval and all the city has to offer.
