An elegant bolthole on Kerry’s wild and unspoilt Atlantic coast
In keeping with its origins as the town residence of the Earl of Shelbourne, The Lansdowne Kenmare is a refined, calming retreat set in the heart of the pretty heritage town of Kenmare. Surrounded by Kenmare’s bustling boutiques, quirky art galleries, and traditional Irish pubs, it’s been reimagined today as a stylish town hotel where you can expect a traditionally warm Irish welcome.
After active days out and about, retreat to your bedroom where crisp sheets, fluffy towels, elegant cabinetry and pops of colourful accessories provide welcome respite. Unwind in marble-lined bathrooms or sink into a soft chair and plan tomorrow’s adventures. Downstairs, welcoming staff ferry delicious, expertly crafted dishes to tables in the Shelburne Street Restaurant to fuel days in the open air. Refuel on home-baked cakes and rousing coffee in the hotel's An Nead Cafe, round your day off with a chilled glass of wine in The Poet's Bar, or lift your gaze to the immaculate clear skies with a glass of brandy on the outdoor terrace on warmer nights.

Standing at the top of a bay in the shadow of the emerald Cork and Kerry Mountains, Kenmare – known as ‘the Jewel on the Ring of Kerry’ – is a gateway to the great outdoors. Enjoy a scenic drive along the ruggedly beautiful Beara Peninsula, paddle the glassy waters of the estuary, and hike stunning mountain trails. For more sedate days, meander around the galleries and restaurants of the town’s quaint streets.
Enjoy your stay!
