Fitzpatrick Hotels USA hosted its annual New York, New York evening in the exclusive members club Residence last week. This event always attracts a number of high profile guests and invites are much sought after.

John Fitzpatrick, CEO of Fitzpatrick Hotels in the US flew in from New York to toast the shamrock (well it was St. Patrick’s week) with friends and colleagues while also highlighting the many and varied undiscovered delights that only New York has to offer.

Guests on the night included regular US Fitzpatrick visitors Ryan Tubridy, Chris and Diane De Burgh together with their daughter Rosanna Davison. RTE’s Kathryn Thomas enjoyed a Manhattan or two as she planned her next trip stateside. John’s sister Eithne Fitzpatrick looked as glam as ever as she chatted with Lorraine Keane and Peter Devlin.

Other guests spotted toasting the shamrock New York style included TV3’s Colette Fitzpatrick, Laura Toogood, Darren Kennedy, Roisin Tierney–Crowe, Sinead Desmond, Maria Fusco and Virginia Macari.
