Fodor's Expert Review The Strand
V94 03F2, Limerick City, Co. Limerick, Ireland
The Strand, a seven-story cube of glass, has become a city landmark since its construction during the Celtic Tiger economic boom. With one of the best locations and the best leisure facilities in town---which includes a 20-meter pool---it's a safe bet for families and weekend visitors. Located on the west bank of the Shannon (the panoramic views of the city from its glass elevator across the river are legendary), the major attractions are at the other side of Sarsfield Bridge. Rooms are modern, with all the facilities you'd expect from a quality city center property, and there are good in-house dining options.
