Although close to the motorway, this mainly modern hotel has a carefully restored mid-18th century house at its heart and something of its country house atmosphere lives on.
The original house is only a small part of the hotel, but it is the focal point and an unusually fine feature is a drawing room with a ceiling by the Francini brothers, renowned for the beauty and skill of their decorative plasterwork.
The hotel has a spa and leisure club and, in addition to rooms in the hotel, ‘The Residences’ offer additional 2-bedroom duplex accommodation (www.theresidences.ie).
Johnstown House is very attractive for corporate events and business meetings, and has a dedicated outdoor events and corporate activity centre on site (Quest Corporate Events).
It is also a pleasing and well-appointed hotel for private guests to stay, and is well located west of Dublin making it a good short break destination or a useful place to break a journey.
