Jurys Inn
Jurys Inns is a chain of hotels founded in Ireland and previously owned by Jurys Doyle Hotel Group. In 2007, the Jurys Inns portfolio of hotels were bought by Derek Quinlan's Quinlan Private Venture Capital (now Avestus Capital Partners) company. The Oman Investment Fund became a shareholder in 2008 and in 2013, Jurys Inn announced a new investor group comprising Oman Investment Fund, Mount Kellett Capital Management LP, a global, multi-strategy investment fund in partnership with Avestus Capital Partners; Ulster Bank, a member of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Westmont Hospitality Group, one of North America’s largest privately owned specialist hotel investors.
History
The heritage of the Jurys Group can be traced back to 1881, when William Jury opened his first boarding house in Dublin. The first Doyle Hotel, The Montrose, was built in Stillorgan, Dublin, in 1964 by PV Doyle. The newly enlarged organisation, now known as Jurys Doyle Hotel Group Limited, was formed in 1999, when the Doyle portfolio of Dublin, London and Washington DC hotels was acquired by the Jurys Hotel Group.
Inn
Inns are generally establishments or buildings where travelers can seek lodging and, usually, food and drink. They are typically located in the country or along a highway.
History
Inns in Europe were possibly first established when the Romans built their system of Roman roads two millennia ago. Some inns in Europe are several centuries old. In addition to providing for the needs of travelers, inns traditionally acted as community gathering places.
Historically, inns in Europe provided not only food and lodging, but also stabling and fodder for the travelers' horses. Famous London examples of inns include the George and the Tabard. There is however no longer a formal distinction between an inn and other kinds of establishment. Many pubs use the name "inn", either because they are long established and may have been formerly coaching inns, or to summon up a particular kind of image.
The inn such as the one in the bible in Bethlehem, were like a bed and breakfast, whereas there was a community dining room which was also used for town meetings or rented for wedding parties.

Inn (river)
The Inn (Latin: Aenus;Romansh: En) is a river in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. It is a right tributary of the Danube and is 517 kilometres (321 mi) long. The highest point of its drainage basin is the summit of Piz Bernina, at 4,049 metres (13,284 ft). The Engadine, the valley of the En, is the only Swiss valley from which its waters ends in the Black Sea (via the Danube).
Geography
The source is located in the Swiss Alps, west of St. Moritz in the Engadine region, which is named after the river (Romansh Engiadina; Latin vallis Eniatina). Shortly after it leaves its source, the Inn flows through the largest lakes on its course, Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana. It runs north-eastwards, entering Austria, and from Landeck eastwards through the Austrian state of Tyrol and its capital, Innsbruck (bridge over the Inn), and crosses the border into Bavaria near Kufstein.
On Bavarian territory the river runs northwards and passes Rosenheim, Wasserburg am Inn, and Waldkraiburg; then it turns east, runs through Mühldorf and Neuötting and is enlarged by two major tributaries, the Alz and the Salzach.
