From the moment you arrive at Adare Manor, the neo-gothic castle is a unique experience. The lobby has the look of a preserved cathedral with its leaded windows and stone pillars, and the most stunning staircase, further enhanced with heavy tapestries. The atmosphere has an immersive historical character, and the 103 guest rooms are no different. Each has a unique decor of carved wood details and Georgian era-style furnishings, transporting to another time. Elsewhere, the hotel’s restaurants are just as enchanting, showcasing the best of Irish ingredients. There is the candlelight tasting menu at the Michelin starred Oak Room, the quiet elegance of The Drawing Room overlooking the gardens, the whisky tasting experience and cocktails at The Tack Room and new addition to the Adare Manor, the Carriage House, with its restaurant, terrace, lounge and access to the golf club. The Carriage House has been imagined almost like a hub for the activities around the estate, which include a Tom Fazio-designed golf course, falconry, archery, padel at the hotel’s brand new  Padel Club and a spa!
