“This family-friendly hotel, with roots tracing back to 1906, places you in the heart of Killarney, steps away from both cultural landmarks and natural escapes like Killarney National Park; the location is really strategic. From its historical décor to its acclaimed Hannigans Bar, the hotel strikes a balance between old-world charm and contemporary comfort, perfect for relaxation after a day exploring the city and surrounding areas.
