5 Stars Hotels in County Kildare, Ireland

I've been to luxurious hotels, but this is another level. If you want to treat yourself, look no further - this right here is a fantastic experience. Hotel is in a historic building that was made into a hotel. Every day there is a guide that explains the history of the place, purpose of each room, etc, which is quite interesting. With the rooms that are in the historical building, the breakfast is served in the ”golden room” which is ”prettiest room in all the Ireland”. The view from my room was stunning - like from a fantasy movie (pictures uploaded, no filters used, made with motorola edge 40). Even the keycards to open the rooms are amazing - made of wood! Everybody in the hotel was super friendly. In the nearby town, Maynooth, you can visit St. Patrick's College which looks amazing.

We returned to the K Club after about a dozen years since we loved it last time. We weren’t disappointed. A lovely hotel and great golf complex with the two course. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the famous Palmer North course. Our river view room was terrific…it was in the new part of the hotel, added since we were last here. Nice large bathroom with both nice tub and walk-in shower; double sinks. Great bathroom; nice view of the river. The public rooms are beautiful with the long elegant hallways. Beautiful landscapes. The Barton was excellent. Three course meal, but one is the amuse bouche, so really just two courses. Excellent foie gras and Roscommon lamb. This is a very special place for wine aficiandos due to its Barton family heritage. The Bartons, of Bordeaux fame, owned this estate for five generations, selling only in 1949 to concentrate on their Bordeaux businesses in the aftermath of WWII. What’s great is that the hotel has kept its connections with the Barton family, including some very special Barton wines available at the hotel bar and restaurants, which are collaborated on with Lisa, the Assistant Manager and Sommelier, who is fully involved in the history of that affinity, and travels to the winery in Bordeaux frequently to assist in the blending of the wines for the K Club. She gave us a tour of the wine cellar which was a great experience. The Staff is wonderful to a person. There are 6 km of walking trails which run by the river and up into the South golf course. There is also a history of here with Ian Fleming who wrote several of his books while staying here. The South restaurant was very good with a nice range of more casual options like excellent chicken wings and spare ribs. The Palmer restaurant was also a nice choice for lunch with its excellent soup and more chicken wings. The Blue Martini Bar is a really nice classic bar with friendly bartenders who know their stuff, like John. The included breakfast was excellent as well with nice buffet options, or a nice range of specially prepared dishes like full or part Irish Breakfast, porridge, eggs Benedicyt, scrambled eggs with excellent Irish smoked salmon. We were there for four nights which we thought was the perfect time to spend there. Only about an hour from Dublin. Not much to do outside the resort, but good things to do within it! If you love golf, you will expecially love it! Highlly recommend!
