| Located by the
shores of the famous Lakes of Killarney within the heart of the Killarney
National Park, the Lake Hotel is an old family run establishment in one
of the most beautiful settings in Ireland.
Since 1820, the Lake Hotel has occupied arguably one of
the best locations in Killarney. Even before this time, the MacCarthy
Mor Chieftains, chose this spot to build the castle whose 12th Century
ruins are within the hotel’s grounds. And when Queen Victoria of
Britain visited Killarney in 1861, she was entertained here by the tranquil
waters of the lake with the foreboding peaks of the Macgillycuddy Reeks
towering in the distance. If you’re lucky you may even see some
of the wild deer roaming onto the grounds from the National Park.
The Lake Hotel combines old world charm with modern facilities.
Friendly staff and hosts offer the kind of Irish hospitality that the
country is famous for, while the hotel retains much of its original character.
The reception area is attractively set and opens out to an elegant lounge
of cosy sofas laid out in front of a blazing log fire.
The Lake Hotel offers a range of bedrooms all with full
facilities and most with fabulous lake views. Standard rooms are well
appointed with an unfussy, cosy décor. The Lake also offers a number
of themed rooms and suites of superior quality with very attractive furnishings,
decorated to Medieval and Roman themes. For that extra luxury the hotel
has a fabulously appointed four-poster suite.
Overlooking the lakes, the Castlelough Restaurant has
a relaxed but refined atmosphere. The extensive menu mixes traditional
Irish dishes with modern continental cuisine and uses fresh local produce.
Less formal dining is available in the friendly Bar, which also hosts
regular live traditional music nights.
The Lake Hotel’s leisure facilities include a fabulous
Canadian style outdoor hot tub and a small fitness centre with gym, sauna
and steam room
