| Hotel Description: |
| Cork is Ireland's 2nd largest city and European Capital of Culture 2005. Having one of the world's finest natural harbours, means that the city has daily ferry connections with Britain and mainland Europe. Cork is also easily reached by rail or air and the hotel itself lies just off the Cork-Waterford motorway. There are many museums and historical sites worth visiting while in Cork, and your stay would not be complete without having a drink at one of city's traditional pubs. While Guinness is brewed and enjoyed in Dublin, the stout of choice in Cork has to be Murphy's. Historical Cobh, the gateway to West Cork, and Kinsale 'Gourmet capital' of Ireland are just a short distance away, along with some of the best sailing in the world and picturesque scenery.
The hotel boast 129 luxury bedrooms and suites, Spa and Fitness Centre, 11 state-of-the-art meeting rooms, an impressive ballroom along with a splendid hotel restaurant and bar. Free broadband. |
