TripAdvisor‘s annual Travellers’ Choice Awards has crowned Kerry the king of Irish hotel destinations, with seven of the top 25 hotels in Ireland located within the kingdom.

Topping the list is The Killarney Park Hotel, with Niamh O’Shea, the 5-star hotel’s General Manager, commenting:

“Killarney Park Hotel is incredibly proud to accept such an accolade from Trip Advisor that rates travel experiences first-hand from customers.

“Such an award is testimony to the fantastic effort from our amazing team who have provided exceptional service, impeccable standards and ‘Warmth Beyond the Smile’ for the past 25+ years to all of our guests.”

The Kerry hotel claimed the top spot from Harvey’s Point in Donegal, a hotel which had topped the ranks for four years in a row.
