• Modern Trendy Luxury Hotel

From the moment guests step inside this establishment, they will know that they are in a uniquely special place. This luxury accommodation evokes not only old-fashioned Hollywood glamour but also offers a wonderful location near the romantic coastline of Galway. The dark and intimate reception area sets the tone, with black glass walls acting as a frame for a tank of Connemara-bred seahorses and a bespoke concierge wall, designed by Philip Treacy. Covered in white Venetian plaster and reminiscent of a seashell, it offers a hint of the surprises yet to come. The public areas on the ground floor extend to over 18,000 m² with three individually styled and themed lounges and a restaurant, all linked by a raspberry carpeted corridor. The impression is of walking through a particularly glamorous dolls' house, with golden doorways framing the entrance to each room. The 101-room city hotel is air conditioned and welcomes guests into a lobby with a 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, a cloakroom and lift access. Guests can relax and take refreshment in the hotel's bar and restaurant, and business guests will appreciate the conference facilities and WLAN Internet access. Room and laundry services are offered, and guests may leave their vehicles at the hotel's car park or garage.
