David Doyle, who split his time between Spain and Dublin, passed away at 67 after a prolonged battle with motor neurone disease. He was the second youngest of five children from PV Doyle and Margaret, and was raised in their family mansion in Dublin. Educated at Blackrock College and the College of Catering, David joined the family hotel business early, working in kitchens and bars. After gaining experience in the US, he returned as assistant manager of the Berkeley Court Hotel. Following his father's death in 1988, David took over as CEO, managing the hotel group alongside his sister Bernie.
"I can't honestly say that there was a time when I didn't want to go into the hotel business."
"David and Bernie complemented each other and they were exceptionally close."
