Mr Gallen, who already owns both the Villa Rose Hotel and Jackson’s in Ballybofey, completed the deal in recent days.
It is understood the hotel will reopen on June 17th next.
Mr Gallen said securing jobs in the hotel is at the forefront of the plans to take over the hotel.
He said “We are delighted to include An Chúirt in our collection and move forward with this stunning hotel. The future is bright for such a fine property located on the Wild Atlantic way in beautiful West Donegal.
“Securing local employment is at the forefront of our plans for An Chúirt and we would like to thank the people of Gaoth Dobhair for their warm welcome so far.
“The messages of support over the last 48 hours have been inspiring and we look forward to becoming part of the community of West Donegal.
“We would like to thank Patricia and Hugh Martin for their help with the transition and we wish them every success in the future.
“We plan to fully reopen the hotel this month. We would like to take this opportunity to assure existing wedding couples that their bookings are secure. Online Reservations for stays from the end of June onwards will be available in the coming days.
