Great location in the middle of the town. Staff are excellent, facilities and top class. Plenty of room to land your helicopter as an American guest advised me. What more can one say.

Myself and my family stayed for 4 nights last July shortly after Lockdown ended. It was just the break we needed, very relaxing. Beautiful breakfast each morning and we ate dinner there one night,eating out in Kenmare Town the other nights. Our children were made feel very welcome too. We played tennis, went for nice walks and even spent an afternoon kayaking on Kenmare bay which the whole family loved. Even our 8 year old! We look forward to returning again this summer.

A beautiful relaxing trip We spent a lovely weekend in Park Hotel Kenmare at the beginning of March. From the moment we arrived the service was impeccable. Philip greeted us at our car and took our bags for us. We were provided straightaway with our whole weekend itinerary and were advised on the nicest walks about the town. Sandra in the spa gave me the most beautiful and relaxing facial. The spa experience was wonderful. The breakfast staff were so lovely and accomodating and kept me fully stocked in delicious toast and kerry butter. Would highly recommend for a weekend to just take some time to yourself and reconnect with nature.

Hard to fault The Park maintains an old world charm. The staff are wonderful - well trained, consistent and incredibly polite without losing any of their individual personalities. The staff is a mix of long term Park “lifers” and younger staff training up. But all sing off the same hymn sheet - that the guests are king and that your stay should be as effortless as possible. On a bright and crisp October day in Kenmare there could be no better setting in the world. It is a magical spot full of majestic beauty. The food, rooms and service all add up to such a wonderful and memorable stay. Thank you The Park!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Park Hotel in Kenmare was one of the best parts of our 2-week trip to Ireland. Beautiful hotel inside and out with castle-like exterior and charming, old world beauty interior. But for us the best part was the staff. They were so welcoming and truly interested in making our stay comfortable and special. We actually got married on the grounds and the staff went out of their way to help make the day and our stay special. Kasia was a stand-out by helping us arrange a photographer and florist ahead of time, and even came up to our room to help me with my wedding dress! When we got back to our room after taking photos, there was a bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting for us. I can't say enough about this hidden gem. And it's literally right in the heart of Kenmare, so you can walk anywhere you need to go. Such a plus. Highly recommend!!

"PURE BLISS" We, Pat and Rose count ourselves very fortunate to have "found" The Park Hotel Kenmare and have sampled the luxury delights many times. Whatever the time of year or time of day it is consistant in the great welcome, the friendly and professional staff. Every guest is treated as a "special guest" from the young at heart to the very young. Everyone is calm going about their work and this creates a relaxing athmosphere which sets the scene for a delightful stay. The Samas Spa not to be missed. With experts on hand to advise on treatments and classes. Beginners -do not be shy in sampling heavenly massages and classes , just ask and all will be made easy. The table service breakfast with a wide range of choices is very welcome as again there is no hustle and bustle, just sit down and enjoy.The hardest part of the stay is leaving the beautiful rooms and stately house that becomes home from home - We wish!
Over 5.2 million overseas tourists visited Ireland from January to September 2024 ...
