Earls Court House
Woodlawn Road, Woodlawn Junction

The three-pearl Earls Court House is a charming hotel in a quiet residential area that’s within walking distance of central Killarney and a short drive from nearby attractions. The made-to-order breakfast, a Resident’s Lounge with board games, and free afternoon tea and snacks give it a homey, inviting vibe. Its spacious 30 guest rooms are old-fashioned and elegant, if a bit fussy, and include details like four-poster beds in some, as well as fireplaces, balconies, American electrical outlets, and jetted tubs. Guests might also want to consider the Brook Lodge Hotel, a similar property closer to the city’s center with an attached pub that sometimes offers live traditional Irish music. 

Arbutus Hotel
Arbutus Hotel College Street, Killarney Town centre

The Arbutus Hotel is a value property situated off of Killarney's main road and close to public transportation, making it a convenient base for tourists seeking to explore the city and surrounding area. It’s a small and old-fashioned, family-run hotel with amenities that give it a homey atmosphere, such as the made-to-order breakfast and traditional Irish pub. Its 25 Victorian-style rooms, though dated in terms of some furnishings and decor, have flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea-makers, and free Wi-Fi. As an alternative, The Fairview offers a similar homey vibe and intimate scale, though rates can be higher. 

Killarney Royal
College Street

Housed in a 19th-century building, the Killarney Royal is a superbly-presented upscale hotel with elegant period interiors. The town center location is great, with plenty in the immediate surroundings to explore and easy access to transport. Rooms are pleasant and well-finished with spacious, marble-topped bathrooms --  though soundproofing can be an issue. Dining is excellent and atmospheric, and there's a decent breakfast service, although it's not included. There's no on-site spa or fitness center, but guests are welcome to use facilities at the nearby Malton Hotel; its rates are similar, so travelers could comparison shop the two properties. 

Dromhall Hotel
Muckross Road

The 72-room Dromhall Hotel is a family-owned upscale property within walking distance to Killarney’s town center. The elegant, bright interiors are traditionally decorated with antique furnishings, damask wallpapers, and patterned armchairs and sofas; inviting common spaces include a lovely lounge with a fireplace and selection of books. Guests also have access to a leisure center located in an adjacent property with an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, and full-service spa. There are two restaurants on-site: a relaxed bar and bistro and a more refined dining room, both serving local, seasonal menus. Rooms have marble bathrooms, and many have mountain views. For the price, though, it may also be worth considering Sheen Falls Lodge, a 300-acre estate with more activities.

Friars Glen
Mangerton Rd, Muckross

The 10-room, family-owned Friars Glen is a charming, mid-range property set within the secluded woodlands of Killarney National Park, about a 10-minute drive from the town of Killarney. The hotel attracts nature lovers and urban dwellers seeking a country retreat. Cozy interiors feature rustic details such as stone walls, exposed wood beams, wood floors, and plenty of cushy armchairs and couches. Guests can settle in by the fireplace with a book or a glass or wine, or sit outside on the patio that overlooks green lawns. Rooms are clean and include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and coffee- and tea-making facilities, although the furnishings are a bit dated. The nearby Muckross Park Hotel and Spa is more luxurious, with a spa and more dining options but steeper rates.

The Ross
East Avenue

A relaxed, intimate boutique hotel, the three-floor Ross combines a vibrant city center location with close proximity to the quiet green expanse of Killarney National Park. The 29 rooms here have a posh feel and come with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. The upscale Ross also has a fine-dining restaurant and guests can enjoy free access to the indoor pool, hot tubs, fitness center, and full-service spa at the nearby sister property the Killarney Park Hotel. The Ross distinguishes itself by being a small boutique option in a city with mostly large hotels or small guest houses and bed-and-breakfasts. 

Riverside Hotel Killarney
Muckross Road

The 69-room upper-middle-range Killarney Riverside Hotel is a lovely property situated by the Flesk River, and within walking distance of Killarney’s town center. Lovely, fresh, and modern interiors include a spacious and sunlit lobby filled with comfortable couches and such thoughtful touches as a bookshelf filled with books and board games, cucumber water, and a bowl of apples. Rooms are clean and pleasant if a bit dated, with dark wooden furniture and crimson accents, such as bedspreads and patterned curtains. Tasty food is available at the fine-dining Bacchus Room, as well as light bites and drinks at the casual River Bar and Bistro. Guests can also indulge in a variety of beauty treatments and massages at the hotel’s Rejuvenation Center, though there is no pool, sauna, or steam room. For those extra amenities, travelers might want to check out the neighboring Holiday Inn, which has comparable rates. Note that the hotel's name is Killarney Riverside Hotel.

Killarney Avenue Hotel
East Avenue, Town Center

The Killarney Avenue Hotel is a stylish and welcoming upscale property in the center of Killarney -- an easy walk to pubs, restaurants, shops, public transportation, and a national park. The hotel stands out for its elegant lobby, cozy Irish pub, and Old World inspired restaurant. While there's no on-site spa or fitness features, guests can use the extensive wellness facilities, including a pool, at Killarney Towers, a nearby sister property. The hotel's 66 guest rooms, which have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, don't quite measure up to the elegance of the public spaces, although bathrooms do have jetted tubs. While Killarney Towers has more on-site features, it lacks the intimacy and charm of the smaller Killarney Avenue.

Randles Hotel
Muckross Road

The 76-room Randles Court Hotel is an upper-middle-range property, within a short walk of Killarney’s town center. Decor is traditional, with elegant antique pieces and old-world details, including gilded oil paintings, chandeliers, and Oriental rugs. While the decor might be a little too fusty for some, the common rooms are inviting and filled with light. There are two on-site restaurants that emphasize seafood and local, fresh ingredients. The hotel has a lovely spa with a sauna and steam room, as well as a beautiful indoor pool, but there's no fitness center. Rooms are simply decorated and pleasant, with lovely marble bathrooms, though certain decor elements may strike guests as old-fashioned rather than elegant. Guests might want to also check out the neighboring sister property Dromhall Hotel, which offers access to Randles Court’s pool and spa, and has lower rates.
