Park Hotel Kenmare

Park Hotel Kenmare Review

One of Ireland's premier country-house hotels, this 1897 stolid and vast stone château has spectacular views of the Caha Mountains—no one can fault its setting: an 11-acre parkland, where every tree seems manicured and where magnificent terraced lawns sweep down to the bay. A welcoming fire is always burning in the lobby, a traditional setting complete with tall grandfather clock. The lobby is crammed with genuine antiques yet manages to be charmingly family-friendly. Guest rooms are tastefully furnished with Victorian antiques; suites have four-poster beds. You can watch classic movies nightly in the 12-seat cinema, take dinner in the elegant dining room or indulge in meditation walks and other goodies offered by the deluxe spa.
