Accommodation
Iveagh Garden Hotel
There’s no reason to suspect that you’re staying in one of Europe’s most sustainable hotels when you step in from the gorgeous Georgian architecture of Harcourt Street. What awaits inside is a sophisticated slice of modern city-hotel luxury. Rooms are classic contemporary, but what we love about this place is the easy access to Iveagh Gardens and the laid-back vibes of Elle’s bar and bistro, featuring a beautiful outdoor terrace and top class craft cocktails.
The Old Bankhouse
This portside boutique hotel is elegantly decorated to make you feel right at home in the heart of Ireland’s foodie capital, Kinsale, and the hotel embraces that title fully. The 18th-century building was once the town's bank and today the Georgian architecture and tastefully decorated rooms hark back to a bygone era. This award winning hotel is the perfect place to spend a restful evening in the heart of Cork.
Dingle Harbour Lodge
Barely a five minute stroll into the heart of town, you’ll enjoy relaxing sea views and the very best Irish hospitality in this charming guesthouse. The rooms are light and feature all of the modern conveniences you’d need on a trip around Ireland. There is an on-site cafe and both a terrace for the sunshine and a cozy lounge with a fireplace for when it's chilly outside. Nothing is too much for the staff here and you’ll be well taken care of during your two night stay.
Residence Hotel
Experience Irish charm first hand at this quirky hotel in the heart of Galway’s lively Latin Quarter. Parts of the 16th-century building have been tastefully thrust into modern life, with smart tech and pop-art touches, but other sections, like the rustic interior of 1520 Bar, transforms you back in time. It also happens to be one of the best watering holes in Galway, thanks to its soul-warming soundtrack of chatter, laughter and proper Irish craic.
