A gorgeous spa hotel with an outdoor infinity pool: Newpark Hotel

1/2

Set in a luscious 40-acre estate just 10 minutes from the centre, this beautiful spa hotel in Kilkenny is ideal for enjoying a weekend away with the girls or celebrating a birthday, anniversary or any other special occasion.

The Ballinamore Penthouse at Newpark Hotel is a truly sumptuous place, and includes its own private balcony boasting the best views of the grounds. Our personal favourite, however, is the luxurious executive room that comes with an outdoor hot tub on the terrace.

When you’re finished your massage, tuck into delicate sandwiches and dainty pastries served on classic silverware. While the chandeliers sparkle from the ceiling all year-round, in the winter months a crackling fire warms the lobby, and the summertime sees grand flower arrangements.
