Monk’s Lounge

A Parlour of Light & Candlelight

Enter the Park. Exit the Ordinary. A glass-wrapped lounge where forest hush meets fireside ritual.

Cradled within the hotel’s original stone walls, Monk’s Lounge invites you to linger over classic cocktails, vintage tipples, and Afternoon Tea, while the terrace opens to leaf and sky. Here, tradition meets couture quiet: velvet light, intuitive service, and an easy cadence that lets conversation breathe. Our tone is lyrical by design, story first, atmosphere always.

From Classic Craft to Seasonal Spark

Our bar team favours Irish spirits and seasonal garnishes; our teas are curated for nuance and aroma. Afternoon Tea follows the brand’s “Aesthetic Rituals” pillar, artful, paced, and quietly theatrical.

Editorial Calm, Grounded in the Park

Editorial Calm, Grounded in the Park

Think deep jewel tones, filtered forest light, candles, and composed elegance, designed to feel cinematic yet sincere. Service is polished, warm, and never scripted. This is signature Muckross: nature as the fabric, not the backdrop.
