The Lake Hotel Killarney

The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent
"Such an exquisite getaway overlooking Muckross Lake. I requested a lake view suite and it was very well-appointed. The view across the lake to the mountains did not disappoint. I had dinner and drinks downstairs at the bistro both evenings and I highly recommend it for the food, view, and service. Parking on sight is plentiful. I went off-season so the hotel was not too crowded, but they do recommend reservations in advance during busy season. I ordered room service and it was very prompt. The heated infinity pool was a must-have add-on (cost per hour). The grounds are manicured daily and make for a relaxing morning or evening stroll. I can’t understate how friendly and welcoming everyone was, nor how impressive the view was."
