Hilton Hotel Limerick

Just across the Sarsfield bridge from the main commercial heart of Limerick, this blocky new seven-storey hotel takes full advantage of views from the upper floors with picture windows, balconies and terraces and has glass-fronted lifts which allow guests with key cards to enjoy the city sights and the distant views of the Galtee Mountains, and are blue-lit at night.

Suites with balconies at the top of the hotel are especially desirable, but accommodation throughout is pleasant and comfortable, and the smart bathrooms all have bath and shower. Although equally attractive for leisure breaks, the Hilton is especially well equipped for business guests - an executive floor has a dedicated lounge, and all rooms have laptop safe, high-speed internet access, plus cable and on-demand tv and individual air conditioning.

There's a choice of 14 meeting rooms for groups of various sizes, and cutting edge conference technology.

Leisure and off duty business guests will all appreciate the Living Well Health Club, which has a 20m pool, plus children's pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, also a gym and beauty therapy rooms for both men and women.

Food is available at either the River Restaurant, or the Terrace Café and Bar, with a large heated terarace.
