About the Castle Hotel
Adare Manor, Adare - A Sanctuary of Irish Elegance
Adare Manor presents a vision of refined Irish country house living, set against an 800-acre estate of sweeping parklands and formal gardens. This is not merely a hotel; it is an immersion into a world where heritage meets contemporary luxury, offering a tranquil escape that feels both grand and intimately personal. The attention to detail, from the curated art to the provenance of its ingredients, elevates the experience beyond the ordinary.
Location
The Manor House is situated approximately 45 km from Shannon Airport, offering a journey into the heart of County Limerick. Its immediate surroundings are defined by the gentle River Maigue and the meticulously maintained grounds, which include formal French gardens and the challenging championship golf course. The nearby village of Adare, famed for its thatched cottages and antique shops, provides a charming, accessible counterpoint to the estate's seclusion. Views from the manor's expansive windows capture the gracious symmetry of the French Gardens, the flowing river, the rolling greens of the golf course, the hushed majesty of the Beechwalk, and the dignified elegance of the courtyard.
Style and Character
Adare Manor's interior is a masterclass in restrained opulence, drawing inspiration from historical grandeur while feeling decidedly current. The Great Hall Reception, with its centrepiece black marble fireplace carved with intricate heraldic designs and crowned with an Old Master painting, sets a tone of distinguished heritage. The magnificent Gallery, a breathtaking 132-foot expanse inspired by Versailles' Hall of Mirrors and lined with 17th Century Flemish choir stalls, is a true architectural marvel. Elsewhere, inviting armchairs and ottomans clustered around hearths, alongside soft furnishings of velvet, mohair, and silk, add a layer of welcoming comfort to the elegant backdrop of marble and limestone. Original 19th-century etchings and oil paintings, thoughtfully chosen to complement the rich colours and textures of each space, further enhance the refined atmosphere.

Service at Adare Manor is characterized by a quiet efficiency and genuine warmth, contributing to the estate's overall sense of peace. The Spa offers a sanctuary for unwinding, featuring Ireland's first customised facial and body treatments by 111SPA/CLINIC, complemented by a calming audio-guided wellness walking tour. Guests also have complimentary access to the swimming pool and gym. For those with a taste for more active pursuits, the estate provides an 800-acre playground, including the celebrated championship golf course and a Padel Club with a dedicated Simulation Room for honing one's game. The Drawing Room serves as a sophisticated spot for coffee or pre-dinner aperitifs, while the Carriage House Lounge offers a more relaxed haven with tempting couches and deep armchairs.
