Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre  

On a 170-acre country estate just outside Kilkenny city, set among landscaped lakes, historic gardens and woodlands. A short drive brings you to The Hub, the National Reptile Zoo and Kilkenny Castle (about 5 km). This family-friendly resort puts city sights and countryside calm within easy reach.

A striking marriage of a 17th‑century estate house and a contemporary extension gives the place instant character. There are 139 unique, air-conditioned rooms with espresso makers, LCD TVs, in-room safes and private bathrooms that feature deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers. The property also houses an award-winning full-service spa and extensive landscaped grounds for walks.

Relax in the full-service spa, steam room and indoor pool, or work out in the fitness centre. Onsite perks include a coffee shop/cafe, bars and lounges, picnic and barbecue areas, concierge services and babysitting (surcharge). Free parking and valet services are available, and you can wake up to lakeside mornings and woodland walks.

Large convention centre space (about 10,463 sq ft) with five meeting rooms makes this a strong choice for conferences and events. Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout—high-speed connections keep meetings and presentations running smoothly. Airport transfers available for a surcharge.

Three on-site restaurants serve international cuisine, while a cafe offers snacks and two bars provide relaxed evening drinks. 24-hour room service is available for late arrivals or a cozy in-room meal.
