ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
In a town where there are so many accommodation options, the Killarney Royal Hotel is one of the few that stands out from the rest and provides the highlight of many people's trip to Killarney. Owned by the Scally family, the Killarney Royal prides itself on the meticulously high level of personal service it offers guests and from the moment you arrive here, you will know you are somewhere rather special. Nothing is taken for granted at the Killarney Royal and it is this attitude, allied with its beautiful surroundings, that ensures all guests enjoy their visit.
A recent refurbishment programme has seen the redesign of the bedrooms, which are now fully air-conditioned and decorated with beautiful antique fittings. Each room has its own unique features, is equipped to satisfy the every need of the guest and offers elegant marble bathrooms and sitting areas. The dining room boasts a large local clientele, which is always a good sign, and offers a menu comprising the finest Irish beef, lamb and salmon, while the extensive wine cellar provides something for every palette. The bar has a homely, local feel to it, while the lounge is ideal for taking afternoon tea and scones by an open fire.
Perfectly situated in terms of shopping and all the major attractions of Killarney Town, the Killarney Royal is also just a short drive away from Killarney Golf Club, with its three excellent courses. And like all hotels in Killarney, it acts as the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding area and to take in the likes of Muckross House and Gardens, the Lakes of Killarney, Dingle peninsula, Torc Waterfall, Kate Kearney's Cottage, Ring of Kerry and Gap of Dunloe.
