Uniquely situated on a
private 310-acre picturesque and enchanting, sheltered and secure island, on the river Suir, and set on a 15th
century castle, the Waterford Castle is a distinguished hotel that offers
luxurious accommodations. Surrounded by woodlands and adjacent to a challenging
18-hole championship golf course, what was the former home of the Fitzgerald
family, who during the 15th & 16th Centuries governed most of the south of
Ireland, has been cleverly renovated to restore its former splendour and
to perfectly combine the gracious living of an elegant past, with every modern comfort,
service and convenience.
Guests arrive through a tree lined drive that introduces them to a grey stoned
facade, and mock turrets shrouded in ages old ivy. A carved granite
archway next leads them into the grand entrance hall and drawing room,
dominated by a huge, open log fireplace, and furnished with fine
Irish antiquities, 17th century tapestries and oil paintings in keeping with the
charm and character of
the hotel.
The 19 Castle rooms are bright and airy with stunning views of the surrounding
estate. Decorated with style, they have been designed for guests to
live, rather than stay, in a luxury world class hotel. Dining at Waterford
Castle also offers unforgettable moments. Original oak panelled walls and
ornate ceilings create a wonderful ambiance to enjoy innovative flavours, and
provides an opportunity to sample the best of tradition and contemporary cuisine,
on both Irish specialties as well as the finest international ones.
The location, splendour and comfort make Waterford Castle Hotel a
rare and wonderful experience, your
escape, home and paradise.
