Our Hotels

Hotel Meyrick (formerly the Great Southern Hotel), Galway - Situated in the heart of Galway City overlooking Eyre Square park, the four-star Hotel Meyrick is one of Ireland's oldest hotels (established in 1845), yet it offers every modern amenity and comfort. The spacious public areas have an "Old World" decor of high ceilings, elaborate plasterwork, crystal chandeliers, and original Connemara marble fireplaces. The guest rooms vary in size, shape, and style, but all have elegant furnishings, designer fabrics, and 21st century amenities. Facilities include The Oyster Restaurant and Pub, Tosh nightclub, and a rooftop leisure center. Above all, the Hotel Meyrick enjoys the best location in town. Step outside the front door – and Galway City's top attractions, churches, shops, and pubs are all within easy walking distance! Web site: www.hotelmeyrick.ie

Dingle Skellig Hotel, Dingle (An Daingean), Co. Kerry - Named for the fabled Skellig Rocks, this multi-winged four-star hotel sits right beside the harbor of Dingle Bay a few hundred yards from the town — set in verdant grounds on the site of a former coast guard station. Improved and expanded over the years, it is now the largest hotel in Dingle, and a favorite for Irish families as well as international travelers. Facilities include the nautically-themed Coastguard restaurant, the Blaskets pub, plus a leisure centre/spa with indoor swimming pool; Jacuzzi; steam room; gym; hydrotherapy; wraps; hot stone, holistic and sports massages; and relaxation suite with hot tub. The 110 rooms are contemporary in style, with views of the Dingle countryside or Dingle Bay. Web site: www.dingleskellig.com

Malton Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry - Having celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004, the four-star Malton (former Great Southern) is Killarney's most famous and sought-after hotel, surrounded by the Kerry mountains and sitting amid 12 acres of lawns and gardens on the east edge of town. It exudes a genuine old world atmosphere with Waterford Crystal chandeliers, classic furnishings, ornate plasterwork, and an open fireplace. The bedrooms are outfitted with every modern comfort, while guest facilities include the Garden Restaurant, a great gilt-domed dining room; The Punch Bowl pub/lounge; and a leisure center/spa with indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, saunas, and gym, with tennis courts outside.
