Autumn Hotel Breaks in the Heart of Kilkenny City
A stay at Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel puts the Medieval City right on your doorstep.

Relax, Dine & Unwind
After a day exploring Kilkenny, return to the comfort of the hotel and take some time to relax.
Enjoy dinner and drinks in HOBAN Bar & Brasserie, or settle into the Castle Lounge for freshly brewed coffee and something sweet. Start the following morning with a delicious breakfast before heading out for another day in the city.
Guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the Ormonde Leisure Club, home to Kilkenny’s only city centre hotel swimming pool. Facilities include a 21m swimming pool, children’s pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and fully equipped gym.
