Our Hotels

Radisson SAS Hotel, Galway City, Co. Galway – Staying at this luxurious hotel is a great way to begin a tour of the West of Ireland in utmost comfort and style. Newly opened in 2001, it is situated overlooking Lough Atalia and Galway Bay, yet within an easy walk of Eyre Square. As the first hotel of the Radisson SAS brand to open in the West of Ireland, it offers state-of-the-art guest rooms, with three different design themes: maritime, Scandinavian, and classic. The rooms have views of the city or the lake, and are outfitted with every modern comfort; and there are also ice machines and shoe-polishers on every floor. Facilities include an atrium style-lobby with water views, the Marinas sea-themed restaurant, the Veranda Bar with frequent entertainment, and a leisure center providing a full-scale spa and indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym and outdoor hot tub.

Dingle Benners Hotel, Dingle Town, Co. Kerry – Location, location, location – this vintage hotel has the best location in town, sitting in the middle of the main street. Originally a coaching inn dating back over 250 years, it exudes an old world charm and welcoming atmosphere in all of its nooks and crannies. Enter via the lovely Georgian doorway and feel the 18th century ambiance in the charming public areas including Mrs. Benner’s Bar, with log fireplace and authentic Irish antique furnishings. The guest rooms, which have been expanded and refurbished over the years, provide all the modern comforts with traditional decor. Best of all, step outside the front door and Dingle Town awaits.

Bunratty Castle Hotel, Bunratty,Co. Clare – In spite of the "Castle" in its name, this hotel is not a castle, nor does it pretend to be, but it is the shining star of Bunratty lodgings. Everyone wants to stay here, and for many good reasons. Situated on high ground directly across from Bunratty Castle and the legendary Durty Nelly's Pub, this hotel blends an 18th century manor house with two harmonious wings of guest rooms that offer every 21st century convenience including ice machines in the halls. Facilities include restaurant/pub and a leisure center/spa with indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and gym. Also on the grounds is the wildly popular (with locals as well as visitors) Bunratty Village Mills shopping village if you need to do some last-minute shopping. Web site: www.bunrattycastlehotel.com
