Signature Suites

Balcony Suites
Balcony suites are among the most desirable at Cliff House Hotel. With a separate living area and bedroom, the space here is plentiful. Deep sofas and armchairs sit in front of the flickering fireplace, and flat-screen TVs are on the walls of both rooms. Generously proportioned with super king-size beds, the suites feature wingback armchairs covered in Donegal tweeds. With their glass-sided balconies — one off the living area, the second off the bedroom —the balcony suites make the most of this spectacular cliffside perch. These large suites blend ocean with tradition — blue furnishings mirror the water below, whilst Irish authenticity is reflected in handwoven tweed blankets and artisan-made wall hangings.

Terrace Suites
Located on the second, third and fourth floors, most of our Terrace Suites can be interconnected with our Deluxe Terrace rooms, making them an ideal choice for families who need the extra space. We also have one three-bed Terrace Suite. Rooms are elegantly decorated, with statement artwork on the walls, large, flat-screen TVs and fireplaces in both the bedroom and living area, and plump, soft sofas and armchairs. Each suite is complete with a private ocean-facing terrace, ensuring peace and seclusion as you gaze out across the bay. Tables and chairs allow you to sit or dine outside, with sightings of dolphins a possibility.

Cliff Veranda Suites
Upstairs, the bedroom is defined by the dramatic cliffside location. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a large private veranda, with ocean views that can be enjoyed from the comfortable sun loungers. Beds are draped in crisp white linen, with Cliff House Hotel’s Irish authenticity reflected in the warm handwoven tweed blankets and artisan-made wall-hangings. The living area on the ground floor is accented with statement pieces from our collection of original 18th-century campaign furniture, with deep sofas that sit in front of the flat-screen TV.
