Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

Where the Wild Breathes, and Luxury Listens

A Five-Star Sanctuary in the Heart of Killarney National Park

At the edge of an ancient forest, beside waters whispered through centuries, lies a five-star hotel where Irish heritage and untamed beauty meet understated refinement. Nestled within Killarney National Park, Muckross Park Hotel & Spa is more than a hotel in Killarney, it is a sanctuary shaped by nature, history, and quiet luxury. Here, the rhythms of the land guide every moment, inviting you to slow, to breathe, and to experience something profoundly rare.

Enter the Park. Exit the Ordinary.

A Message from the General Manager

“True luxury is found in silence, in space, in the things you cannot measure-only feel.”

Here, in the heart of Killarney National Park, we invite you to pause, reconnect, and rediscover what matters most. Every stay is an embrace of nature, comfort, and timeless Irish warmth.

Garrett Power 
General Manager, Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

Where Time and Place Converge

Woven through time. Witnessed through nature. Since 1795, Muckross Park has stood as a retreat for royals, poets, and pioneers.
Once a humble lodge, it became Ireland’s first hotel in Killarney, later welcoming Queen Victoria and George Bernard Shaw. Today, heritage and modernity intertwine, a celebration of Irish craftsmanship, design, and spirit.
