Far from being all rustic charm and cosy countryside cottages, Ireland is home to a burgeoning luxury travel scene that includes some seriously high-end hotels. If you’re looking for a luxe city break, you can’t go wrong with a five-star retreat in Dublin. Or for something more regal, there’s a castle in County Limerick with a room for you. Can’t decide? Here are the best luxury hotels in Ireland – all bookable on Culture Trip.
The Shelbourne, for Renaissance bliss in Dublin
This five-star property, one of the oldest hotels in Dublin, is beautifully appointed with 265 rooms and suites. Many look out over St Stephen’s Green, where you can enjoy a horse-and-carriage ride. Antique features run throughout – think chandeliers and marble fireplaces – but the hotel has all the conveniences a 21st-century traveller needs. Not least, six food-and-beverage options, including the award-winning Saddle Room restaurant, and a day spa for pre-dinner pampering.
The Europe Hotel & Resort, for an escape by the Lakes of Killarney
The Europe Hotel & Resort is as sublime as it gets, with a spot by the Lakes of Killarney. The views of the distant mountains and glittery waters evoke a sense of relaxation, especially when enjoyed from the immaculate gardens on a sunny day. The hotel has won many notable awards over the years, thanks in no small part to six decades of attentive hospitality.
Cliff House Hotel, for a quintessentially Irish holiday in Ardmore
Cliff House is a privately owned hotel in the quaint fishing village of Ardmore, with perfect sea views from every room. The House Restaurant has a Michelin star, serving an eight-course menu with a focus on seafood. There’s also a luxury spa, with outside baths for the summer and an indoor pool with views over the waters. If you want something a little more active, book an adventure or two – coasteering or rock climbing should do the trick.
Mount Juliet Estate, for country luxe in County Kilkenny
Built on 200ha (500 acres) in County Kilkenny, Mount Juliet Estate is the place to go for a countryside getaway. This five-star property sits in a magnificent Georgian manor house with breathtaking gardens to match. There’s a Michelin-starred restaurant here, too, serving dishes using the highest-quality ingredients from the estate and neighbouring farms, plus a more relaxed dining experience at The Hound restaurant.
