The Celebration Experience
Every Stay Deserves a Toast
Kilkenny has always been a city for gatherings. Friends meeting over good food. Couples wandering between candle-lit pubs. Music drifting through streets that have been welcoming visitors for centuries. Staying at the Hibernian places you in the middle of it all.
A boutique 4-star hotel housed in a historic Georgian building, where old corridors lead to contemporary bedrooms and the city’s best streets begin just outside the door.
For couples travelling from abroad, it’s Kilkenny at its most authentic.
For Irish guests, it’s the kind of easy city break that feels both familiar and quietly special.
Your stay has everything needed for an evening worth remembering:
• Luxurious overnight accommodation in the Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel
• Full Irish breakfast the following morning
• Two-course dinner in Ember Restaurant
• Bottle of chilled prosecco waiting in your room on arrival
• Homemade sweet treats prepared for your celebration
Let us know what you’re celebrating and our team will add a personalised chocolate message to make the surprise even sweeter.
Dine at Ember
At the centre of the evening is Ember: the glow of the grill, the scent of wood fire, and dishes built around seasonal Irish produce and fresh local ingredients.
The Night Doesn’t End After Dinner
The Hibernian Bar, a long-standing social hub in the city, welcomes locals and visitors alike with live music and a strong whiskey collection.
Boutique Comfort Upstairs
Soft lighting, thoughtful details, and the quiet sense of being in the centre of a city that has been welcoming travellers for centuries.
Why Couples Choose Kilkenny
For Irish couples, Kilkenny is the perfect spur-of-the-moment weekend away, close enough for a short drive, lively enough for a full evening out.
For visitors travelling through Ireland, it’s a city that captures something essential: medieval streets, great food, music in the pubs, and history that lives comfortably alongside modern life.
And the Hibernian sits right where it should, at the centre of it all.
