Summer Hotel Breaks in Kilkenny City Centre

With all there is to Experience, See and Do in Kilkenny,
there’s still time for one last summer break!

Make the most of the final days of summer with a well-deserved escape to Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel, right in the heart of Kilkenny City. With September just around the corner, now is the perfect time for a spontaneous family break, a few days away with friends or a relaxing escape for two.

Our fantastic city centre location means many of Kilkenny’s best-known attractions are just a short stroll away. Discover Kilkenny Castle, explore the Medieval Mile Museum or visit the Smithwick’s Experience. Kilkenny Castle and its 50-acre parklands, complete with a children’s playground, are just three minutes from the hotel, while cafés, boutiques, galleries and craft studios line the city’s medieval streets.

So Much to Experience in Kilkenny

Discover Kilkenny on foot with a walking tour of the Medieval Mile, explore contemporary art at Butler Gallery, or simply take your time wandering through the city and discovering its historic streets.

Food lovers can browse the Kilkenny Farmers Market, held on Thursdays and Saturdays, explore local food shops or stop by the Foodhall at Kilkenny Design for something delicious.

Kilkenny’s celebrated craft tradition is another wonderful reason to explore. Discover makers and designers in the city before venturing into the countryside to visit Jerpoint Glass, Nicholas Mosse Pottery & Country Shop, Moth to a Flame Candlemakers or Cushendale Woollen Mills in picturesque Graiguenamanagh.

For something completely different, try your hand at hurling followed by a pint at Malzards Bar, or discover the sport of kings with Hawkeye Falconry.

There’s still plenty of summer left to enjoy, so pack your bags, make the most of the final days of the season and enjoy one more Kilkenny escape.
