The Best Hotels in Ireland: 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Driving along the Ring of Kerry, you’ll find Park Hotel Kenmare in the quaint namesake town of Kenmare where pink, green, and yellow storefronts, picturesque churches, and pubs abound. It was built in 1897, originally as a stopover for railway riders. Today, the classic five-star hotel is home to a destination spa and a fine dining institution offering an opulent tasting menu. Christmastime is a special affair, when each room has its own sparkling tree, a live band plays in the drawing room while guests dance, and you won’t have to go near an oven to cook for anyone." - CNT Editors, Nicholas DeRenzo
