Butler House  

In the centre of Kilkenny City, adjacent to Kilkenny Castle, Butler House is a historic luxury guesthouse set around a quiet courtyard. The medieval streets, top restaurants and pubs are all a short walk away, with world-class golf, equestrian venues and fishing close by.

Once the Dower House of Kilkenny Castle (built 1770), this 18th-century house mixes sweeping staircases, plastered ceilings and marble fireplaces with contemporary furnishings. Seventeen individually styled rooms and suites feature modern bathrooms and coordinated soft fabrics. Select rooms include cable TV, bottled water and a coffee or tea maker; many bathrooms offer hair dryers and toiletries.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free parking make arrivals easy. Daily housekeeping, room service, on-site laundry and dry cleaning keep stays effortless. Concierge and luggage storage are on hand for local bookings and tips, all in a calm courtyard setting.

A business centre and event facilities support meetings and board gatherings. Free Wi‑Fi, a safe-deposit box and an elevator add convenience for work-focused stays.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine so you can taste authentic Irish flavors without leaving the guesthouse. The hotel also offers a selection of readily available meal options to suit early starts or late returns from the town.
