Ireland’s Gem of Hospitality

My wife and I have stayed in hundreds of lovely hotels all around the world…nothing compares to The Lake Hotel. Absolutely the magnificent nearly hundred year old center piece in Killarney…that’s actually an understatement. The Lake Hotel is clearly innovating the next era of legendary Irish hospitality, working to ensure that guests get the full experience offered by the hotel while empowering critical sustainability simultaneously.

The views, food, and service were incredible. We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. For us it was the pefect base from which to explore County Kerry and do some horseback riding in the Killarney national park. We loved that each morning we could start with an excellent breakfast and end each day with an excellent meal and dessert. We also enjoyed the local live music you had in the lounge at 9pm.
History of the old castle behind the hotel
wow, just incredible to look at or walk around.
Nice hotel in a perfect location for seeing all the sights around the Ring of Kerry
