Enjoy two of Ireland’s best luxury hotels with this itinerary combining the two great cities. Spend the first three nights at the Hotel Merrion in the Irish capital, where you can explore Trinity College and the National Museum of Ireland, the literary and music pubs of Temple Bar, and the elegant Georgian squares and terraces. Then head south to the ‘Rebel City’ of Cork, located on one of the world’s largest natural harbours. It was at nearby Cobh that the Titanic made its final passenger stop before the doomed Atlantic voyage, and the excellent museum here is worth a visit. Stay in Cork itself at the impeccable Hayfield Manor and visit the famous English Market, with its tempting array of local produce.
...when you travel with Kirker
We consider the Merrion to be the best hotel in Dublin. It consists of four interconnecting listed townhouses, now fully restored to their original splendour, plus a contemporary garden wing. Located between Merrion Square and St. Stephen’s Green, the hotel stands opposite the Government Buildings.
Cork’s finest hotel is in the style and appearance of a grand manor house and is set in two acres of gardens, about one mile from the city centre. A member of ‘Small Luxury Hotels of the World’, it has a welcoming atmosphere and is decorated with great style.
Our expert reservations team regularly travel to a wide range of destinations to explore new cities, visit hotels and to research museums, galleries and restaurants so that we can offer the most up-to-date advice and recommendations.
