About Park Hotel Kenmare
About
Park Hotel Kenmare has welcomed guests to the shores of Kenmare Bay since 1897. Just a short stroll from the colourful town of Kenmare, the hotel enjoys one of County Kerry's most beautiful settings, with views across the bay to the Caha Mountains. Today, under the stewardship of the Meehan family, the hotel combines its rich heritage with thoughtful contemporary design, exceptional Irish hospitality, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
A member of Relais & Châteaux and Ireland's Blue Book, and the recipient of Two Michelin Keys, the hotel is also home to an acclaimed private art collection featuring works by artists including Sean Scully, Andy Warhol and Callum Innes. Following a complete restoration in 2026, each of the 49 Bedrooms and suites has been carefully redesigned using natural materials, restored antiques and original artworks, creating calm, comfortable spaces that reflect the character of the house. Many enjoy views across Kenmare Bay, while all offer generous sitting areas designed for relaxing after a day exploring Kerry.
Whether you've spent the day driving the Ring of Kerry or Ring of Beara, walking the nearby mountains, playing one of the region's renowned golf courses, or simply wandering the streets of Kenmare, dinner at Landline is the perfect way to end the day. Led by Executive Chef James O'Sullivan, the restaurant celebrates the very best seasonal produce from Kerry and the surrounding region with ingredient-led menus that change throughout the year.
Guests are also encouraged to visit our sister property, Dromgarriff Rainforest in nearby Glengarriff, where ancient woodland, gardens and walking trails offer another opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the southwest.
Park Hotel Kenmare is a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the very best of Irish hospitality, surrounded by art, nature and timeless comfort.
