Regarded as one of the top luxury hotels in Europe, Dromoland Castle is located near the town of Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare. The castle dates back to the 16th Century and is the ancestral home of the O'Brien Clan who are direct descendants of Brian Boru, the last High King of Ireland.

Priceless reminders of the Castle's historic past are everywhere: in the splendid wood and stone carvings, magnificent panelling, original oil paintings, romantic gardens and grounds. With today's luxury accommodations, it is truly a perfect blend of past and present. All 75 guest rooms and suites have been recently refurbished. Each room has been decorated individually, with great attention to detail. In the suites, the decor includes rich damask wallpaper, antique furnishings, and custom-designed carpets and drapes. Beautifully appointed, large and luxurious bedrooms, each room enjoys its own unique personality, blending old world charm with modern amenities, offering attractive views of the flowering herb garden, 16th century courtyard or shimmering lake.

The Prestigious British travel guide 'Egon Ronay' has named Dromoland Castle's dining room as the best restaurant in Ireland. Dromoland Castle offers vacation pleasures in full measure. Golf, tennis, fishing and boating are available on the Castle estate. Take a leisurely walk through romantic gardens or enjoy cycling through secluded wooded grounds. Deep-sea fishing is available nearby.
