Your Home in the Heart of Ireland

After days filled with discovery and connection, retreat to the luxury and comfort of Cashel Palace Hotel. This 18th-century manor house offers world-class hospitality, elegantly appointed rooms, and a sense of belonging that resonates deeply with visitors tracing their roots. From fine dining to rejuvenating spa experiences, every detail of your stay at Cashel Palace is designed to honor both Ireland’s rich history and your personal journey.

Guests will enjoy luxury accommodations in the newly awarded Cashel Palace, holding Two Michelin Keys for its exceptional standards, and dine at The Bishop’s Buttery, the property’s One Michelin Star restaurant, where inventive menus highlight the best of modern Irish cuisine. The adventure extends beyond the hotel with a tour of the Rock of Cashel (St. Patrick’s Rock), giving guests an intimate look at one of Ireland’s most cherished historical sites.

Each evening, Cashel Palace brings genuine Irish hospitality to life with live music, “craic agus ceol” (fun and music), and freshly poured Guinness at Donoghue’s Traditional Irish Pub. For the whiskey enthusiast, Head Mixologist Mike Pickford can take guests through an Irish Whiskey Tasting to get an intimate understanding of flavors and pairings.

Another unique stop is Cashel Palace’s very own Guinness Bar, commemorating the property’s historical link to the birthplace of Guinness. Richard Guinness, the land agent for Archbishop Arthur Price, who resided at Cashel Palace from 1744-1752, was also the brewmaster, using hops from the Palace Garden to brew ale for Cashel Palace. His son Arthur Guinness, the Archbishop’s godson, was left £100 in his godfather’s will – the same £100 he used to secure the lease on the St. James’s Gate brewery site in Dublin.

In addition to these luxury experiences, guests can book a one-on-one consultation with a local genealogy expert to uncover their Irish ancestry, making their visit even more meaningful. It's an experience that television host and comedian Conan O'Brien personally had as he traced his family tree in Ireland with the help of Cashel Palace and an expert genealogist.
