The Perfect Base for Exploring Ireland’s Southwest

Your Irish Welcome Starts Here

If you’re planning a trip to Ireland’s southwest, you’ve likely heard about the natural beauty of Killarney but where you stay can shape how deeply you experience it.

At Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, we do more than offer four-star comfort, we give our guests from the U.S. and Canada a genuine Irish welcome in the best possible location. Whether you’re tracing your roots, driving the Ring of Kerry, or simply here to slow down and soak in the scenery, we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Where Killarney Town Meets Nature

Few hotels in Ireland can say this: on one side, you have the lively charm of Killarney town with its shops, music, and food; on the other, the peaceful, postcard-perfect beauty of Killarney National Park. We’re positioned exactly where nature and culture meet – right outside your door.

From our lobby, you’re a short stroll to traditional pubs, St. Mary’s Cathedral, boutique shops, and the park’s iconic trails. Want to take a jaunting car ride or wander to Ross Castle? Just ask—we’ll point the way.

A Team That Treats You Like a VIP

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel genuinely looked after. Our team takes pride in providing a level of personal service that makes every guest feel appreciated. Whether it’s remembering your name, helping you plan the perfect day trip, or arranging dinner reservations at a local favorite, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Guests from the U.S. and Canada often tell us they appreciate our friendly professionalism and attention to detail because here, you’re not just another booking. You’re our guest, and we’ll make sure your stay feels as special as the trip itself.
