The pinnacle of excellence, we’ve been welcoming guests to Dromoland Castle since 1963. The 16th-century stronghold sits in a 500-acre estate that offers guests the perfect opportunity to enjoy Irish country life. Arriving at Dromoland Castle, guests are greeted by a handsome baronial façade resplendent with turrets, towers and crenellations; a powerful reminder that this iconic hotel holds a significant place in Ireland’s history. The ancestral home of the O’Brien’s of Dromoland, whose lineage dates back 1,000 years to Brian Boru, one of the last High Kings of Ireland. Our imposing baronial façade wraps around a startling interior that seamlessly marries historic opulence with five-star finesse. Our multi-million-dollar refurbishment has seen us revamp every space in the castle, from the fabulous Gallery and Library Bar to our outstanding bedrooms and suites, which have been tricked out in a soothing contemporary palette. A magnificent playground of country pursuits, Dromoland Castle’s estate offers up so many opportunities for fun. Make like a royal and schedule some archery, clay shooting or falconry. Our resident hawks, falcons and owls will take your breath away.
