⠀ (Re)introducing Andrew, our General Manager: the person you notice only because everything else is in its place. If service has a tone here, it’s Andrew’s. Warm, precise, unforced. He’ll steer you to the right Burgundy before dinner; afterwards, he’ll make sure the hotel bar in Kilkenny you recommend to friends is ours ✨⠀
Kilkenny is best walked: Castle lawns at dusk, the Medieval Mile under candlelit stone, an hour at Butler Gallery, then two streets back to us. Your private residence, steps from Kikenny Castle, you pass through the city; the city passes through you; and after it all, the Hibernian Bar has your seat waiting ✨
Design day, perfected: sash-window mornings here; patina and provenance at @joy.thorpe Antiques in Castlecomer; a quiet glass back at the bar. A cultured Kilkenny city break, edited with intention✨ Reel by @my.home.in.ireland
A townhouse knows how to greet a season. Polished wood, deeper florals, lamplight at four, and that low murmur the Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel is loved for. If you’re searching a boutique hotel in Kilkenny city centre, step through our door and feel the change in pace: the bar glows, the staircase is handsome, and upstairs a key turns as softly as a secret.
