The luxurious Adare Manor, fresh from its multi-million euro refurbishment, has been named in Condé Nast Traveler’s influential list alongside many of the world’s best hotels.

The only Irish hotel to make the 2018 Hot List, Adare Manor was named one of the world’s best new openings, with just 102 global hotels making the list.

Describing the Limerick hotel as “a delicious mix of old and new”, the renowned travel magazine said: “It’s barely 30 minutes from Shannon Airport, making it one of the closest country manors you can reach on seasonal, non-stop flights from the U.S. (it’s an easy two hour drive from Dublin in winter).”

The magazine added: “While retaining an old-school, aristocratic vibe, Adare’s fanciful gargoyles, genuinely warm staff, grand and intimate spaces, and super-comfortable rooms make it somewhere uniquely and unabashedly the Ireland of now.”

Adare Manor re-opened last November following an extensive, 22-month refurbishment and expansion that added a new ballroom and 42-bedroom wing.

The hot list placed Adare Manor alongside some of the world’s best hotels and is sure to entice a number of tourists to venture towards the opulent manor.
