The country's best wedding hotels, coastal escapes, golf experiences, and 5-star hotel have been revealed at the 2025 Irish Hotel Awards.
The ceremony took place earlier on Monday 20 October at The Johnstown Estate in Enfield, Co Meath and celebrated the "unsung heroes" of Ireland's hospitality sector, from front of house staff and housekeeping teams, to accomplished chefs and the general managers that keep the hotels ticking over.
Hunters Yard Hotel at Mount Juliet Estate, Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny, was named the 5-Star Hotel of the Year.
The award for 4-Star Hotel of the Year went to Dingle Skellig Hotel, Dingle, Co. Kerry, while Faithlegg in Co. Waterford was named 4-Star Luxury Hotel of the Year.
Speaking about the awards, Managing Director Shane Smith said: "This is more than just an awards night."
"Tonight we witnessed something extraordinary, a gathering of the hearts and hands that shape the soul of the industry. These awards are a reminder that excellence is often found in the details and the gestures, it's a moment to pause, reflect and celebrate the spirit of Irish hospitality, its craft, its true warmth and most of all its people."
