Muckross Park Hotel & Cloisters Spa - Killarney

From its sumptuous rooms to the fully restored stonework, the Muckross Park Hotel & Cloisters Spa, on the outskirts of Killarney, is the oldest accommodation in the area, dating back to the late 1700s. The facilities here are as modern as they come, however. The spa won an international luxury award in 2011 and offers an array of treatments and massages with hot pools set amid stone colonnades. The main restaurant features gourmet European dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, while the rooms include historic suites with jacuzzi baths and views of Killarney National Park. For those looking to explore this extraordinarily beautiful part of Ireland, this is the place to do it in style.
