Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Isaacs Cork

A stylish renovation transformed an old, city-center warehouse into a contemporary boutique hotel, which is accessed via a cobblestone arch and includes original features like exposed stone walls as well as a courtyard patio with a waterfall. Guest rooms vary greatly in shape and size; the most coveted quarters overlook the restaurant's tiny courtyard patio, with a waterfall cascading down one side. Rooms were updated so bathrooms are modern and spaces are well maintained. Corporate rooms provide generous work space, while 11 apartments are available for longer stays---all decorated with muted earth colors, black leatherette reclining chairs, and plain cream walls. The restaurant, Greenes, is renowned for its superb cuisine: hotel guests get a 15% discount. The property recently developed 11 fully serviced self-catering apartments for those who want an independent stay.
