ACCOMMODATIONS

With sophisticated settings fit for a king or queen, Dromoland Castle is a sought-after destination in and of itself. Lavish guestrooms like the Queen Anne, Queen Anne Courtyard, Deluxe, and Viscount Deluxe allow travelers to relax in style with bespoke patterned textiles, soothing color palettes, and modern comforts.

Upgrade to one of the hotel’s staterooms housed within the castle’s original walls for views of the lake or walled gardens, or enjoy added space in the Lady Mary O'Brien Suites, accessed from their own private corridor. The Brian Boru Suite, which features a grand sitting room, a magnificent four-poster bed, and ornate chandeliers, is another indulgent option.

For the most luxurious stay of all, consider the idyllic Dromoland Lodge, a five-bedroom standalone guesthouse that offers an unforgettable retreat with daily breakfast, a full kitchen, its own golf cart, and all the comforts of home.
