Beautifully situated in a courtyard just off the narrow, bustling streets of the city centre, with only the River Nore separating it from Kilkenny Castle, this fine hotel enjoys the city’s premier location, and has a lovely big riverside terrace off the bar.


This Kilkenny hotels bedrooms and public areas have recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Classic bedrooms have a courtyard view while the 21 deluxe rooms, some with private balcony, offer superb views of the river and Kilkenny Castle.


During the day and early evening, The Riverview Bar serves good bistro-style food The outdoor terrace, situated directly alongside the river, has unrivalled views of the Castle and is hugely popular with locals and hotel residents. Afternoon Tea is also available daily in the bar and residents lounge during the colder months and on the terrace during the summer. Finger and open sandwiches, freshly baked scones, macaroons and fruit cake are just some of the treats.


The Riverside Restaurant

With impressive views across the river to the Castle, this aptly named restaurant takes full advantage of its riverside setting and the atmosphere is that of a restaurant rather than a hotel dining room. Recently extended and refurbished, the ceiling to floor windows, beautifully appointed tables and comfortable high-backed chairs make this a very elegant room in which to dine - and the good food served includes a wide ranging breakfast.


At dinner, popular starters might include Chorizo and red pepper risotto or Prawn cocktail with Marie Rose dressing, while mains offer hearty dishes like Confit pork belly with Savoy cabbage, pork and thyme fritters and roast gravy, or a colourful fish dish such as Baked fillet of cod, with Mediterranean vegetable ragout and salsa verde.


Desserts are likely to include enduring classics like Chantilly profiteroles with chocolate sauce, while drinks the menus offer cocktails, local beers and alcohol-free options as well as a good wine list.


The early dinner and Sunday lunch menus are particularly good value, and charming service adds to the occasion.
