Scene
Modern, laid-back style with some '90s touches
The
Everglades Hotel is housed in a three-story brick building that's partly covered with ivy located in a quiet, natural setting. The public spaces are
well-maintained and uncluttered, and decorated in a modern,
easy-going style, though it feels a bit reminiscent of the '90s in its colors, patterns, and generous use of velour. The reception area is tiled in pale gray, and a
dark-wood-and-white marble counter is manned by staff welcoming arriving guests. The
lobby has a spacious lounge area decked out in patterned carpets and comfy couches, and high-backed armchairs covered in pale pink or
gray velour, along with a grand piano and a fireplace. Most guests are leisure travelers or couples on weekend getaways. The hotel is also
a popular wedding venue, thanks to its grand ballroom and on-site fine
dining restaurant.
Location
Located in a quiet, residential area
Everglades
Hotel is located on a main arterial road that leads to Derry city
center, a four-minute drive away. This is a quiet residential area
with lots of parkland, and the Foyle River is across the street
from the hotel. The City of Derry Golf Club is a three-minute
drive away. It's a 45-minute drive to Castlerock Beach, and the Sperrin
Mountains can be reached in 50 minutes. Glenveagh National Park is a
55-minute drive away. The nearest airport is Belfast International

while the bathrooms have both separate bathtubs and showers. There are also a few nice extras, such as robes and
slippers, mineral water, and welcome trays. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, electric kettles for coffee-
and tea-making, irons and ironing boards, safes, and hairdryers. Be aware that some rooms are prone to traffic noise.
