Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

Formerly the Hibernian Bank, this Georgian building has been restored to its former glory to become The Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel. The nine older rooms at the front are particularly spacious and furnished to a very high standard in keeping with the character of the building, but the new accommodation which has been built to blend in achieves this quite well.

New rooms are also generous and impressively furnished in an upbeat cross between traditional and contemporary styles; they have good amenities, well-planned bathrooms - and the advantage of a quieter situation away from the street. Of the public areas, the old banking hall makes an impressive traditional style bar, the Hibernian Bar, set up with comfortable chairs and tables for informal eating; there is also a restaurant, Jacob's Cottage, which has been built and decorated to avoid feeling like a hotel dining room and has its own entrance from the street.

Similarly, in contrast to the Hibernian Bar, Morrisons Bar is the cool place to hang out at night.

Conference suites (max 40). Rooms 46 (3 suites, 3 junior suites, 1 disabled). Lift. B&B EUR95 pps, ss EUR95. Bar meals available 12.30-8 daily. Closed 24-25 Dec.
