History

Established in 1758.

The Lucan Spa Hotel has a long and colourful history. The site first became a health resort in 1758 when an iron spa was discovered at Chapel Hill (at the bottom of the steps leading to Sarsfield Park from the Main Road). Thousands came to use the facilities of the spa and to test the terapeutic qualities of the spring.

In 1795, the Old Hotel (now the Lucan County Bar) was built incorporating a ballroom built some time earlier. To the South of the Lucan Spa Hotel lay The Crescent (Beside Lucan County Bar). This was a terrace of Georgian houses which were also built around this time to house all the holidaymakers who came to the Lucan Spa, which at that time rivalled such resorts as Tunbridge Wells and Leamington Spa in England. These houses are marked on a map from 1816 but are thought to have been built much earlier than that.

This Old Spa Hotel was a fashionable meeting point throughout the 18^th Century, in whose surroundings the prosperous pillars of society then rested.
