Tucked away on a private estate along the famous Ring of Kerry, Parknasilla has stood for over one hundred years, attracting such literary luminaries as George Bernard Shaw to its beautiful location.

Set within 300 acres of magnificent gardens, which benefit from the near sub-tropical climate of the Gulf Stream, the Parknasilla is a classic hotel built in 1879. A proud stately building, the hotel's interiors maintain the old world charm with large log fires greeting you in the grand reception rooms with bold Victorian features and refined furnishings. An atmosphere G.B. Shaw would no doubt feel at home, on his many visits to the hotel.

Up the sweeping staircase and past the stained glass window, another reminder of a bygone age, the bedrooms of the original house are full of character, with antique furnishings and tall bay windows sprawling with views of sea and mountains. The bedrooms in the more modern addition to Parknasilla are similarly decorated though more adaptable to the needs of the modern traveler.

The Hotel is renowned for its fine dining in the Pygmalion Restaurant, delightfully appointed overlooking the bay, with award winning cuisine, offering the finest of Irish food coupled with excellent service.  Relax and unwind with friends and family in the Doolittle Bar or lounge areas while enjoying views of Kenmare Bay.

As a getaway resort, the Parknasilla has a range of leisure facilities, with indoor swimming pool, a newly refurbished Spa including an outdoor Canadian hot tub overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The hotel spa also offers an extensive range of treatments and therapies.
