Just over 30 km south of Dublin, in a stunning location between the sea and the mountains and adjacent to Druids Glen Golf Club, this luxurious hotel has a feeling of space throughout - beginning with the marbled foyer and its dramatic feature fireplace.
Suites and guest rooms, many of them “double/doubles” (with two queen sized beds), are all generously-sized, with individual ‘climate control’ (heating and air conditioning), and all bathrooms have separate bath and walk-in shower.
A wide range of recreational facilities on site includes the hotel’s spa and health club (recently refurbished and extended), and two championship golf courses; nearby you’ll also find horse riding, archery, quad biking - and, of course, the gentler attractions of the Wicklow Mountains National Park are on the doorstep.
When dining in, choose between Flynn’s Steakhouse (see below) and the bigger Druids Restaurant (where breakfast, carvery lunch and dinner are served daily).
Bar meals also available in ‘The Thirteenth’ bar or, in fine weather, on a sheltered deck outside the two restaurants.

Druids Brasserie:
Quite small and intimate, with an open log fire and candlelight, Druids Brasserie has more atmosphere than the bigger daytime Druids Restaurant, and reservations are essential.
Rack of Wicklow lamb is a speciality and there’s a sprinkling of other dishes with an Irish flavour which might not be expected in an international hotel, like Dingle crab cakes, Guinness braised mussels - and an Irish cheese platter.
