ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Nestling almost in the shadows of the world-famous Kilkenny Castle,
the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel is a superb new deluxe hotel, which enjoys
the enviable advantage of being the most centrally located hotel
in the colourful city of Kilkenny. Situated adjacent to a secure
car park, the Kilkenny Ormonde caters for all needs and was designed
to complement its sister property, the Aghadoe Heights Hotel in
Killarney. In this respect, it has certainly succeeded and it brings
the same level of quality to Kilkenny as the Aghadoe Heights brings
to Killarney.
If the Kilkenny Ormonde offers the finest accommodation
available in Kilkenny City, then it also provides some of the
best dining options. Guests may choose from the fine dining Fredericks
Restaurant, the more relaxed Earls Bar & Bistro and the casual
Ormonde Lounge, which serves light meals and snacks. Each of the
venues serve sumptuous culinary delights, while the exciting Venue
Bar is the ideal place to enjoy a drink and provides live entertainment
weekly. An extensive, state of the art leisure centre with fully
equipped gymnasium, swimming pool, sauna and steam room, completes
the wonderful array of facilities at the Kilkenny Ormonde.
Kilkenny City itself of course is cherished
for its unique blend of history, culture and festivals and is
renowned as a superb destination throughout the world. Kilkenny's
narrow, medieval streets are dotted with slipways, restaurants,
bars and shops and offer something to tickle everyone's fancy.
Some of the countless places of interest in the region include
Kilkenny Castle, St. Canices Cathedral, Jerpoint Abbey, Rothe
House Museum, Dunmore Caves, Kilkenny Design Centre and Smithwicks
Brewery, while the Waterford Crystal Visitors Centre is just a
short drive away.
