Its oak paneled walls and turf fire reflect the timelessness of a good Irish pub, combining character, characters and good craic.

Beautiful traditional exterior that sits very well on the street. There has been a hotel on the site for over 200 years but the most significant architectural aspects of Arbutus are the numerous examples of celtic deco furniture & design
Lobby
Lovely small Reception.
General
In the heart of town, the Arbutus is one of the most historic and best loved hotels in Killarney.Historic in character, yet up to date with facilities and standards, it features the accommodation and services expected from a larger hotel, with the advantage of the personal and intimate attention that a smaller property can deliver. Family run by the Buckley family since 1926, a warm welcome awaits! (GW 02/2013).
