Overlooking Lough Corrib, Ireland's second largest lake, on 350 acres of stunning parkland, this award-winning luxury hotel from the Red Carnation collection occupies a 13th century castle. Set on a sprawling wooded estate northeast of Galway, the hotel – once owned by the Guinness family – has hosted royalty, dignitaries and celebrities over the years. Recently reopened after a multi-million pound renovation, the 84 room hotel is the last word in historic elegance. There is a state-of-the-art spa with top of the range treatments, fine Irish cuisine and Ireland's first School of Falconry. Activities include archery or clay pigeon shooting, golf, fishing or horse riding.
