I stayed at the Cork International Hotel for one night, prior to a very early morning flight.. and to be honest I was slightly sorry to have to leave. It becomes apparent once you step through the doors that a lot of attention and detailed thought has been put into the design and decor of the hotel. A colourful and impressive lobby (reception is on the first floor.. take the lift or stairs up) with scattered artwork and bright features.. think Art Deco with an aeronautical theme, mixed with icons and furniture from the Sixties (complete with 'egg chairs), somewhat 'Austin Powers'! This theme permeates throughout the entire hotel, with subtle colour changing LED lighting running through the bar. The foyer bathrooms are an experience, and wouldn't be out of place in any funky top city nightclub. The bar is large and well spaced out, with large flat screen tv's and the staff extremely helpful, providing table service. Bar food is definately recommended and reasonably priced. A nice added secuurity feature is that you must use your room key to operate the lift and gain access to your floor, something that may be of benefit for families staying with children. My room was superb, large very well appointed triple room (with double and single bed), fully stocked minibar. Again, its apparent that alot of thought has gone into the design of the rooms, with curved deskspace and plenty of storage, large LCD flatscreen tv and dark pannelled woods. Bathroom was spotless and spacious. The hotel is loctaed approx 5 mins walk to the airport main terminal check in, but they also offer a courtesy shuttle service to and from the hotel. You can leave your car at the hotel for a reduced rate if using the airport.. maybe worth checking prices if going on a long stay holiday abroad. All in all an amazing hotel, so much so we are planning to go back and stay there just to meet friends for a 'night out - staying in' and enjoy it again.. HIGHLY recommended!

Great Hotel, Great staff, might want to sort out card swip in the lifts though, Does not work reliably

Ultra modern hotel. First impression was that decor was stark, and frankly . . . somewhat bizarre! However, very quickly it grew on me, as the themed approach emerged and worked its magic. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast fine and staff friendly and helpful. Situated in airport business park, within a 5 minute walk of main terminal, on an elevated site. Quite exposed to weather when windy and/or raining, but too close to take a taxi. Walkway via entrance to airport multi storey car park, and across hotel car park not the most secure or well lit. . .would'nt like to do it alone in the dark.
