Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork Hotel

Set on a picturesque bend in the river, just a short walk from Cork city centre, The River Lee hotel occupies a unique position in this charming historic city. Ireland’s ‘second city’ is a lively cultural hub with an opera house, independent art galleries, museums and theatres, vibrant nightlife and a growing craft beer scene and hosts several festivals throughout the year – notably culinary, music and film.  Additionally it boasts a thriving foodie scene centred on the famous English Market and is ideally placed for visits to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone, the historic fishing town of Kinsale and the rest of Ireland’s ruggedly beautiful southern coastline. The River Lee hotel is one of Cork’s leading business and social destinations. All aspects of Cork local life are played out here, from business events and family celebrations, to casual get-togethers in the hotel’s highly popular Weir Rooms including the Weir Room Restaurant, Bar and Terrace on the Weir; a key location in Cork’s growing food scene. Resident guests also have complimentary access to the hotel’s in-house health and fitness club with a 20m swimming pool and spa. 

Combining grand Victorian architecture with contemporary style, the 4-star Ambassador Hotel Cork City overlooks the city centre from the top of Military Hill, found in the historic area of St. Luke’s. McGettigan’s cookhouse and bar uses the finest quality, locally sourced ingredients, while the outdoor decking area is a great place for a BBQ. The Ambassdor Hotel Cork City’s contemporary rooms offer free wi-fi, tea and coffee facilities, 32” flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms.
