Malton


Elegance on a grand scale, the Malton Hotel in Killarney, formerly the Great Southern Hotel, has welcomed visitors and dignitaries since 1854, it is a hotel of impressive character and the gracious "old lady" of Killarney's establishments.

Situated in the centre of the charming town of Killarney, the Malton Hotel is a landmark hotel and something of an institution in the town. For over 150 years well-heeled concierges have greeted guests from Presidents and Princes, to business barons, entertainers and sportsmen, at the grand Palladian entrance to the Great Southern. A hotel that's very much in the classic mould, the hugely spacious lobby sets the impressive tone with sumptuous sofas and pillars if pristine white marble.

The fabulously appointed bedrooms at the Malton Hotel recall the grandeur and elegance of a bygone age while keeping up with the contemporary style of today. Each has lots of space, luxurious beds and a full range of facilities, while the splendid suites go that little bit further in offering luxuriant opulence.

Fine dining is provided with a sense of further grandeur in the Garden Restaurant. A great gilt doomed room, with a ceiling decorated with intricate gold leaf tracing and situated overlooking the hotel's wonderful gardens. Here the very finest in haute cuisine is served from an imaginative international menu. While less formal dining is available in Peppers the hotel's a la Carte restaurant, set in laid back, stylish modern surroundings.

Those in search of pampered luxury needn't look to far. The Innisfallen Spa at the Southern boasts an extensive range of facilities from 17m indoor pool, steam room, Jacuzzi, gym and hydro-massage baths. The Spa also offers a full range of treatments using exclusive Yon Ka products.

As the "Old Lady" of the town, the Malton Hotel has introduced many people to the beauty of Killarney, a place of scenic mountains and lakes and traditions from an age ago, all waiting to be explored. The Southern is also well placed for golfers with famous golf courses close by in Killarney and Ballybunion.

The Malton is one of our recommened Killarney Hotels

Not one of our favorites but loved the location. Saw a fantastic old Irish band and did a little shopping. Found Murphy's ice-cream there again! The best ice-cream ever.

Darlene Burns on Wed Jun 22 2011

We had actually one of the worst dinners of our trip at this hotel. The services where great, and it was in a wonderful location though.

Jon Brown on Mon May 16 2011

Suzanne Tarbox on Wed Mar 30 2011

Their premium restaruant while food was good service was terrible-waiting over 45 minutes before the waiter would even return to the table so that we were without even a chance to order a second glass of wine-

This hotel was a little difficult to find at first due to the sign being covered with ivy. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.

Rachel Shanahan on Thu Aug 5 2010

This was our most favorite hotel on the tour. I highly recommend this hotel.

Maureen Ryan on Mon Jul 26 2010

By far our FAVORITE stay. Which we had been there a second night. People were fantastic. Room was an upgrade to a suite and the nicest room on our holiday. Central to the downtown area. Walking distance to much. Wasn't your first recommendation, we suggested and you made reservation. I would suggest you use this facility again.

Ronald Kretz on Tue May 4 2010

Our favorite hotel by far. This was amazing. The hotel was gorgeous, staff were wonderful and the location was amazing.

Katie Mcnaught on Tue Nov 17 2009

We loved this place and could have stayed longer. Again we checked in earlier than stated and no problem. The food was excellent. Close to shopping and easy to take side trips such as the Muckross Estate.

Linda Starr on Fri Nov 13 2009

Colleen Heenan on Wed Sep 30 2009

Location was very good to access the surrounding areas and attractions. Staff was very helpful. Room was upgraded which was a pleasant surprise

Joann Rooney on Tue Sep 22 2009

We really enjoyed this hotel. The only issue we had was the room was on the third floor and with the unseasonably warm weather (it was beautiful all week) we requested a fan to stir the air. The staff was very accommodating. The food and service truly was exceptional. We would like to go back again.

Tom Schuetz on Mon Sep 21 2009

This was a great hotel. The staff was wonderful and it was in walking distance to downtown.

Carrie Sumrall on Tue Sep 15 2009

We absolutely loved this hotel and the town of Killarney. We would like to return to this area one day since the weather made it impossible to really enjoy the outdoors on this particular day.

Cynthia Mathis on Tue Sep 8 2009

The Malton is a lovely hotel and the staff was superb.

Carol Strauss on Tue Mar 31 2009

Very cold room.

Sara Ronca on Mon Jan 12 2009

Good location and quiet at night except for the smokers outside the front doors whose smoke wafted up into our room. We found all the hotels quite warm inside and had to open our windows at night.

Patricia Lang on Mon Sep 22 2008

Jim Murphy on Mon Feb 6 2006

large bedrooms and bathrooms. clean and fresh feeling in rooms. usual facilities in bedrooms, with a work station. bar is warm, cosy and has an old feeling to it due to the furnishings. large reception area. across from outlet centre. city centre near but the hotel area quiet.

Jenna Burton on Tue Nov 29 2005

Very impressive when you entre the great southern Killareny's Lobby , The room was very spacious but the heating did not work, Once staff were contacted they responded very fast, howevere the only solution was to put an electricial heater in the room.
