The Park is definitely a worthwhile splurge. Room was well appointed and the staff was warm and friendly. Kenmare is a great backdrop for a wonderful trip. If I had to make a \"complaint\" it would be that the carpet is so thick and plush it made pulling the wheeled luggage challenging, but that is not a serious complaint.

Staff was very courteous and attentive. Hotel is on a beautiful property, but it is dated. The room layout was very nice and comfortable but the furnishing were worn, chipped and dated. The hotel grounds were amazing.

Incredible hotel and wonderful staff! Beautiful evening at their restaurant as well as the food was excellent.

Only frustration is that our room did not have air conditioning. Only some rooms have AC but our door opened which allowed plenty of air flow from outside.

For property that was opened up in the 1800s, there are modern conveniences and amenities. Location is perfect, the staff is friendly and nice, and the spa is over the top. The building is very old, but everything else gets an A+ plus. there was a concert of instrumental musicians in the lobby on the night that I arrived, which was extraordinary.

It was perfect! In the middle of Kenmare yet totally private.
So many amenities and the service was excellent.

Beautiful hotel and grounds but the staff was the best part! Everyone we came in contact in was lovely & so kind and accommodating. I'm not certain about all the rooms, but 222 did not have an outlet near a mirror which made it difficult to dry hair but that's the only con I have with Park Hotel.

amazing hotel

what a hotel :) and the team were just amazing, special thanks to the manager of the front desks to accommodates us and offer us even better room, during our stay every one in the hotel were amazing, so nice and kind and took care of our needs. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy 5plus star service and beautiful scenery, the great point of the hotel was it was in the middle of city too, so in a minute you walk out you were in the town which was nice.

Seriously overpriced for whats on offer

Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent restaurant – food cooked and presented very well. Room was dated and caught in a 1950s timewarp. No air-con or fan provided. No fridge nor tea/coffee making facilities. Bed seen better days. Outrageously overpriced at €550/night WITHOUT breakfast. At that price point there are so many better options available in Ireland.

When I complained to front-desk staff about the price without breakfast, was told that hotels.com bookings never include breakfast – something that is obviously untrue.

This hotel might suit some people but I won't be going back.

The service was outstanding the staff super friendly. The grounds were beautifully maintained and there was always something going on. You’d never know this tranquil and beautiful setting was just steps from town at the end of their driveway which made it the perfect blend of two worlds. Definitely coming back to this gem!!!

Superbly charming and modern country hotel!

Our family stay at the Hotel Park Kenmere was superb in every way. The hotel amenities were fantastic - including the pool and spa, the cinema, kids toy room, etc. There was always a warm fire in the lobby and attentive service. Food and drink were great, and the location was perfect for exploring Kenmere. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a phenomenal and charming hotel experience in Ireland.

There was a sense of being an honoured guest in someones home rather than simply 'staying' there. I don't think I've been anywhere where the staff were so friendly and prompt in their anticipation/response to your needs right from the moment you arrived. In addition the location is stunning. It is not often you can stay among rolling hills with walks among exotic flora and have the sea gently roll in and out at the same time. While the village of Kenmare just outisde the gates is lovely, with an incredible mix of ancient standing stones, and Michelin guide restaurants all within 10 minutes ramble.

Weekend in Kenmare

We had a surprise birthday family get together over a weekend. Absolutely delighted by the service and attention to detail.. The hotel staff were fantastic and we were pleased to be greeted at the reception desk by the famous Mr Brennan himself. The hotel is very much a unique homely sort of place to stay with loads of antique furniture and pictures such as portraits and vanity fair prints etc. A nice touch was the wood fire in the reception area which burned all of the time we were there. We would definitely come again.

A True Irish Treasure

This was my second visit to the Park. My only regret is not coming back sooner.
This isn’t a modern hotel but one that has old world charm and a service staff that is second to none.
The other secret to this wonderful establishment is the cuisine. I have traveled the world and have eaten at quite a few Michelin Star restaurants; the Parks dinning experience is far superior to any.

We had a fabulous stay! The hotel is gorgeous, the staff is courteous and attentive, the dining room and food were exceptional. We enjoyed walking and jogging the paths on the property. The landscape and views are beautiful and the spa is too notch. My only criticism, is that the room was dated in that the carpet and upholstery are worn, and the bedding should be updated. Other than that, everything was wonderful!

Okay, it is a Relais et Chateaux property so it is bound to be wonderful. And it was! I felt like I was in my own personal Irish manor home for a couple of days. Beautiful huge room with sitting area, incredible service, and lots of pampering. My only complaint was that the dinner there was only ordinary. But all-in-all, a real treat!

Treat yourself to the Park!

The Park is a very special place, with stunning views over Kenmare Bay. service is friendly and excellent throughout. I would highly recommend the tasting menu in the fine dining restaurant for a treat. Excellent spa treatment rooms. The beautiful village of Kenmare is on your doorstep, with lots of shops, galleries and really good food on offer. it is alos a fabulous base for anyone touring this beautiful part of Ireland.

Old world charm; cosy fires; friendly staff.

We were snowed in, so this was not a typical stay - we did not get to see the local area. The hotel had an old world charm, with cosy fires and friendly staff. Main dining room only had tasting menu available, with a la carte menu in the bistro. Excellent wine menu. Overall, the food was excellent except for one meal in the bistro, where the steak was disappointing. Had to stay an extra night because of the snow and we were given a very generous reduced rate for that night.

Old style class and charm

Really enjoyable stay. Staff all excellent and very friendly, comfortable room and good quality meal. Lovely old building in its own grounds right in the centre of Kenmare. Kenmare has a number of good restaurants and bars and driving out of it you are surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland.

Comfortable elegance on the edge of Kenmare

This is a refurbished country manor-type house that has been converted into a hotel. It is beautifully appointed and is a maze of long hallways and rooms. The overall effect is elegant and reserved. It is just on the edge of Kenmare town with easy access by walking to the commercial streets where the pubs, restaurants and shops are. The hotel has its own restaurant and a nice bar/lounge area. It is set on nice grounds with gardens and next to a golf course. It also offers lots of other activities and has a spa. Unfortunately, we did not have time to partake of any of these on our one-night stay. It is a little expensive, but would provide a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

Charming manor house, conveniently located

Our room, on the top floor of the hotel, was well-appointed and most comfortable. The hotel's location was convenient for our Ring of Kerry visit. The staff were superb!!
