Meet in Kilkenny – Stay

Kilkenny offers a refreshingly authentic accommodation experience, with a wide variety of independent and Irish owned hotels providing superb quality, generous, genuine Irish hospitality and a broad range of accommodation at different price points – perfect to meet the varying needs of today’s planner and group organiser.

What stands Kilkenny apart is that its accommodation offerings are primarily locally owned properties, with the added bonus of personalised service and flexibility; all adding to the experience.

Our compact city offers a campus of accommodation with over 1,000 bedrooms to choose from within a one-mile radius, making city buyouts and multi-hotel events easy to manage whilst also ensuring delegates are within walking distance of key venues, as well as dining and entertainment options.

A short drive takes you into the rich Irish countryside offering a collection of historic estates and luxury resorts, providing a range of settings for executive retreats and exclusive events. Whether delegates opt for vibrant city-centre hotels or tranquil countryside retreats, they’ll experience the character of Kilkenny’s medieval city, set to the backdrop of some of Ireland’s most beautiful landscape.

If you are staying in the city, choose one of our great properties or have some fun and mix it up, allowing visitors to choose from a selection of hotels within close proximity, creating the perfect campus for larger groups. Escape to the country and immerse your group in “the green” with spectacular historic resorts providing the perfect opportunity to unplug. The best bit… with a short transfer from our resorts to the city, you can have the best of both worlds and explore Kilkenny Energy no matter where you rest your head.

Beyond the practical benefits, accommodation in Kilkenny is part of the destination experience. Each and every guest will be welcomed by people with genuine local knowledge and a passion for sharing everything their wonderful city has to offer; creating memorable moments that extend well beyond check-in.
