Located on the edge of Killarney town, near Muckross House and Garden, and within the Killarney National Park, this large five star hotel is handy to all the championship golf courses in the area and makes a luxurious base for exploring south Kerry.
At the heart of the large, well-executed development lies a fine Victorian house and, although the newer areas have an elegant contemporary style, an atmosphere of timeless quality prevails throughout.
The award winning Spa offers superb facilities and relaxation options and adult guests have complimentary access to the thermal suite amenities, vitality pool and outdoor hot tub in addition to the wide choice of treatments available.
Beautifully furnished accommodation offers all that would be expected of an hotel of this calibre - with 68 bedrooms ranging from romantic four-poster suites to spacious contemporary guest bedrooms and suites.
All this and great local food and friendly service to match - a good breakfast here will set you up for the day, and a particularly attractive feature of the hotel is the warm ‘Irishness’ of the staff.
Alongside, The Jarvey's Rest bar is a typical old-world traditional Irish pub with open fires and the focus on drinks, pub food and entertainment (including Irish music and dancing on some days).
For casual dining, the cosy Monk's Lounge (originally the Herbert Inn, dating back to1795) also has an open fire and is open daily for light lunches, Afternoon Tea, snacks and evening cocktails /aperitifs, as well as Sunday Lunch.
Space and comfort abound in the sumptuous 50 seater Yew Tree Restaurant, where fish and meat from the Atlantic counties feature strongly in the modern fine dining offered by Executive Chef John O’Leary, whose menus are a celebration of foods from along the Atlantic coast and all suppliers are named.
