ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Situated in splendid surroundings, overlooking the beautiful islands
of Lambay and Ireland's Eye, Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links was
originally the home of the Jameson family (of Irish Whiskey fame).
The house has been tastefully transformed into a magnificent international
hotel, while the surrounding land has been moulded into a superb
links golf course at the hand of Bernard Langer. And having opened
for business in 1996, Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links is already
widely acknowledged as one of Ireland's leading golfing hotels.
Given its beautiful setting, it's hard to believe
that The Links (as it's known) is only 11 miles from the bustling
streets of Ireland's capital city but then that is one of the
property's major benefits - peace and serenity, yet close to Dublin
city. Each of the 103 bedrooms has been cleverly designed to ensure
that they overlook either the sea or the golf course and while
the suites certainly offer a different degree of luxury, all the
rooms offer exceptionally comfortable accommodation, with superb
facilities.
The principal dining room at Portmarnock Hotel
and Golf Links is the Osborne Restaurant, which was named after
the artist, Walter Osborn, who painted the very view from the
hotel that you will see in a different light every day of your
stay. This is an award-winning restaurant, which serves an excellence
range of international cuisine. Dining at the Links Brasserie
offers a less formal setting and is ideal for an after golf meal,
while the oak-paneled Jameson Bar is perfect place to relax over
a drink, a cigar or a light snack.
