Park Hotel Kenmare

We absolutely LOVED this hotel. We were most likely one of many couples trying to decide whether to stay in Killarney or Kenmare. I read forum after forum and review after review trying to decide. Ultimately we decided on Kenmare and this beautiful property. After spending several days there we really were happy with this decision. We spent some time in Killarney and although it is stunningly beautiful, it was much more of a larger town with a very touristy feel. Not to say that there’s anything wrong with that because it was delightful, but Kenmare was much quieter and perfect for what we were looking for. We were elated with our choice from the moment we arrived. The location is ideal whether you are exploring the town which is a short stroll away or heading out to drive the ROK. Its such a perfectly lovely location. We had booked ourselves into a Bay Suite with Terrace. We loved everything about the room. The decor was a refined elegance. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was ideal and bath products were amazing. The room was very spacious. It had a nice terrace outside overlooking the lake which we used often. It was simply a very comfortable room that thoroughly enhanced our stay. Just like many luxury properties it’s really the staff that makes your experience go from great to exceptional. This was exactly the case here at this property. Everywhere you turned the staff members were there to help you and make sure your trip was delightful. It all starts with the doorman who were so gracious and friendly. I definitely have to call out another staff member in particular, the bartender Rob. Wow, did we have fun each evening with him. We had never met anyone that knew so much about Irish whiskey. He was such a lovely person and so much fun to chat with each evening. We loved how warm and friendly he was. It was really sad the last night saying goodbye. We dined at the Landline restaurant for breakfast each morning and dinner one evening. The food was terrific and the service provided was excellent. We loved how close the hotel was to the neighboring golf course. We simply walked out of our room and were at the clubhouse within 2 minutes. When in Kenmare it would be ashame not to try other restaurants as well. We would highly recommend dining at Mulcahy's and the Lime Tree Inn next door to the hotel. Both had amazing atmospheres and the food was fabulous! As stated above, we were so elated with our choice of hotel, especially for this region. The ROK is such an iconic Irish destination that you want to have a perfect hotel to accompany this adventure and the Park Hotel Kenmare was just that! If and when we do make it back to this region, we will without a doubt stay here again!

Spa is so disappointing. Were never even informed that there was a larger pool. Changing rooms were freezing the relaxation room was beyond Baltic no way anybody could relax in it. Swimsuits all destroyed from residue that came off in the outdoor hottubs. We did receive money back due to the bad experience but unfortunately just doesn’t make up for the let down experience for what was meant to be a very special occasion. Your money also goes a lot further in other spa’s for a nicer experience

Lovely warm welcome and the glass of chilled rosé was appreciated after a 5 hr drive. Spacious, beautifully decorated room with stunning view over the bay. Overall the hotel has a relaxed well cared for vibe, current upgrade to the spa facilities did not detract from our enjoyment at all and will be fabulous when completed. Tara the owner spoke to us at breakfast and even offered some tips for our drive that day- nice touch! Some fabulous art works on display. The food is also excellent but the top prize must go to all the staff for their genuine warmth and friendliness. Well done, you deserved the 2 Michelin keys awarded when we were there. Already looking forward to returning.

Great location, a short walk from the beautiful town of Kenmare with its excellent restaurants, bars, music and historic stone circle. Spacious, comfortable rooms with great breakfast and fine dining. Right on Kenmare Bay with lovely walks and views. We spent three nights and loved every minute. Ideally located for trips around the Ring of Beara or heading back to Killarney and it's great attractions. In particular the Park has excellent, friendly, knowledgeable staff and they give great attention to all the guests. The Park Kenmare employees fully deserve the 2025 Michelin award of 2 Keys. The hotel is currently updating it's Spa area and that will add an even better experience for future visits

This is an older hotel that doesn’t feel dated. It is in a great location and has a well trained staff who help to make this a great hotel to stay at. I enjoyed my stay and will certainly consider it in future.
