The Park Hotel, KENMARE, Kerry

Since 1897 many world travellers have enjoyed the pleasures of the privately owned and managed Park Hotel Kenmare. Set in a heavenly location overlooking Kenmare Bay the hotel is in the heart of Ireland’s most scenic countryside. Spacious guest’s accommodations are individually furnished with unique and personally selected antiques. The restaurant has attracted the most prestigious international awards and is consistently rated among the finest in Ireland.

The Hotel is also home to the Deluxe Destination Spa, SÁMAS. Adjoining the hotel on a wooded knoll SÁMAS is a true world-class Spa. There are separate Male and Female Spas to meet an individual’s distinctive needs. This is complimented by a team of SÁMAS professionals who are trained to design treatments tailored for you. As the translation from Gaelic implies SÁMAS is a pure indulgence of the senses. Unlike other spas where you have to choose what treatment you want when you book, at SÁMAS you do not have to decide what actual treatment you want until you arrive in the spa. This unique approach ensures a treatment to your mindset at that time. A menu of treatments specifically designed for SÁMAS are another unique feature of the facility. In addition the 25mt Lap Pool is simple divine. An energy engaging facility to compliment the passive nature of SÁMAS, its inviting nature is irresistible. Constructed of stainless steel and located underground the ambiance is serene. Daily swimming classes and water aerobics are just some of the features guests can avail of.
An abundance of outdoor activities also awaits you. The Hotels grounds offer tennis, croquet and garden walks along the water shore. The adjacent 18 hole Kenmare Golf Club provides a challenging parkland course. The area has many Championship Links Golf Courses within a short drive. Horse riding, sea and game angling, mountain walks and the famous coastal drives are some of the activities offered.

But should you want peace, simple peace then this is the place for you. Here you will be happy to do very little but relax in splendid comfort and enjoy the service provided by the professional yet discreet and friendly staff. Stroll down the Hotel Avenue to the Heritage Town of Kenmare where you will find fine shops, many quaint pubs and an abundance of restaurants. Noted as one of Ireland’s few planned Heritage Towns it was recently voted Irelands Tidiest Town, a prestigious national award.
