Our home for the first four nights will be the four-star Killarney Avenue Hotel. Located right in downtown Killarney and just north of Killarney National Park, the hotel is wonderfully traditional.
You get a sense of the place from the minute you step in the lobby, which is full of wood and warm colors.
The hotel is one of several in Killarney owned by the same company. I chose it over the other options because I like the feel and the size; with only 66 rooms it is smaller and more personal. Unlike the larger hotel in the group, the Killarney Avenue doesn't host lots of large tour groups.
Although the hotel does not have any fitness amenities, we will have full access to the facilities of their sister hotel around the corner, the Killarney Towers. Even if you aren't interested in swimming, be sure to take a walk over there and check out the indoor pool, it's one of the best looking I've ever seen, with unique architecture.
The dining room of our hotel has a club feel to it, with lots of wood and warm colors like the lobby.
There's also a great pub just off the lobby where we ate a delicious dinner.
To be honest, the rooms are just fine but nothing in particular to write home about. They are average size and have either one or two beds, a small table and easy chair, and lovely bathrooms.
The location of the hotel is perfect, right on the edge of town.
