Killarney Royal Hotel, Killarney

Ideally located in the centre of this lively town, this bright and airy hotel has an elegant touch. Family run, Joe and Margaret Scally are friendly, helpful and attentive - what more could you ask for? The rooms are individually designed and decorated; they do however have at least one thing in common, namely a good sense of tasteful style. The bar is popular with older natives, especially at the weekend, and is the perfect spot for a nightcap following a busy days sightseeing. The restaurant is also quite highly regarded. Close to many sights, including the Franciscan Friary and Speir Bhean Monument , the Royal is also near the Outlet Centre for convenient bargain shopping.
