The Killarney Park

About us

Intimate, luxurious, and brimming with heartfelt warmth, The Killarney Park is Ireland’s best-kept five-star secret. It is nestled in private gardens in the heart of the town, and mere steps away from the awe-inspiring natural wonders of Killarney National Park. This is a family-owned, independent five star hotel, devoted to their guests, to sustainability and to the local community. The difference that makes is evident in the intentional, thoughtful, and personalised service of the team, and can be seen in every carefully considered detail of the hotel. Authentic Irish hospitality is at the centre of everything at The Killarney Park, expressed in the beauty and comfort of the 67 gracious guest rooms and suites, each individually decorated in a style that interprets old-world elegance through a contemporary eye. It can be felt in the tranquil atmosphere of The Spa, where world-class therapists offer individualised treatments, including facials, massages, and nurturing rituals. With a serene relaxation room featuring a panoramic tropical aquarium, as well as a thermal caldarium, a heated 20 metre pool, sauna, steam room, bubble pool, outdoor hot tub and wellness centre, The Spa is a sanctuary of rest, renewal, and gentle care. The public spaces of the hotel are designed to kindle a sense of welcome and belonging. Lounges with quiet corners and deep armchairs encourage lingering conversation with old friends and new. The library offers a peaceful space to curl up with a drink and a favourite book on a rainy afternoon, while the Billiards Room invites willing opponents to face off over the table in a good-natured clash of cues. The same spirit of generous hospitality and sense of place infuse the hotel’s restaurants and bars. Deep relationships with local suppliers bring the very best of artisan ingredients to the table. The inventive fine dining menus, innovative cocktails and immersive ambiance of The Peregrine restaurant are inspired by the ever-changing loveliness of the National Park, evoked through elaborately coved ceilings, contemporary mood lighting, soft textured fabrics, and expressive original art. The Garden Bar and Terrace provide elevated all-day menus of classic favourites and small bites as well as a full bar, specialising in crafted gin cocktails and fine whiskeys. Stepping through the hotel’s garden gates, the Kingdom of Kerry is at your feet. With so much within walking distance, The Killarney Park is a perfect base to enjoy the many delights of the area. Stroll two minutes into town to take in some local music, ramble into the National Park to feast your eyes on ancient woodlands, mountains, and waterfalls, borrow one of our complimentary bikes and explore, or take a traditional horse-drawn jaunting car tour.
