Travel Information

One of the best ways to experience Ireland is by hiring a car and exploring its undulating landscape and numerous attractions by car travel. Hiring a car gives you the freedom to define your itinerary and soak in the local culture and history at the hotels, many of which are century-old manors that have been refurbished. One popular hotel is the Park Hotel Kenmare, a five star hotel known for its elegance and beautiful views. The hotel is found within private woodland grounds overlooking Kenmare Bay, and is easily accessible by car travel. Built in 1897, this country house is tastefully decorated with antiques and objects d’art that bring guests back to a bygone era. There is even a small cinema which shows the old classics every night. The bedrooms are spacious and individually decorated, for an elegant yet homey and ambience. Large windows invite the sunlight while offering fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. The hotel is famous for the Deluxe Destination Spa, SAMAS and a wide range of holistic treatments and therapies from both eastern and western traditions. Guests who opt for SAMAS, which means “indulgence of the senses” in Gaelic, receive treatments in private rooms and zen gardens equipped with open air hot tubs. There is also an infinity pool, fitness suite, and Tai Chi and meditation classes. The nearby 18 hole Kenmare Golf Course also makes this an ideal car trip stopovers for those who love the sport. The Park Hotel Kenmare is an ideal retreat for those who are traveling through Ireland by car. Travelers can use it as a base for car tours of the area, or as a stopover before continuing on the next leg of the car trip. Travellers who want to tour the country using a rented car can inquire with Car hire companies about the car hire packages they offer.
