Opened in March 2022, Cashel Palace Hotel is a meticulously restored 18th-century manor in the heart of County Tipperary. This iconic residence offers 42 individually designed bedrooms, including eight sumptuous suites, blending timeless grandeur with contemporary luxury.

Dining is at the heart of the Cashel Palace experience. Each morning begins with a Full Irish Breakfast served in the light-filled Queen Anne Room, and Afternoon Tea is offered daily, celebrating the rituals of hospitality in elegant surroundings. Just beyond the gates, guests can enjoy our sister properties: Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen, adjacent to the hotel, offers brunch, lunch, and dinner with a relaxed farm-to-fork ethos; Sadler’s, located a short 15-minute drive away in Fethard, serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner on weekends in a bright, sociable setting; and Donoghue’s, a traditional Irish pub, remains a beloved local favourite, full of charm and character. Within the hotel, guests can also savour the seasonal artistry of The Bishop’s Buttery, our Michelin-starred restaurant set beneath graceful vaulted ceilings, and enjoy refined drinks and light fare in the original stone-walled Guinness Bar.

A magnificent new ballroom and a selection of beautifully appointed reception rooms provide an exceptional setting for weddings, private celebrations, and corporate gatherings, all framed by the historic architecture and manicured grounds of the estate.

Deeply connected to the cultural and equestrian heritage of Tipperary, Cashel Palace offers bespoke equine experiences through its dedicated Equine Concierge. Guests may enjoy behind-the-scenes access to the world-renowned Coolmore Stud and Ballydoyle Training Facility, as well as tailored riding excursions and visits to the nearby Fethard Horse Country Museum.

Wellness at Cashel Palace is a serene and enriching experience. The spa overlooks the gardens and the Rock of Cashel, and features a 17-metre indoor–outdoor pool, thermal suite, seaweed baths, and exceptional treatments by Bamford and Valmont. A growing calendar of movement classes, from mindful Pilates to high-energy full-body workouts, complements the tranquil environment and supports every guest’s personal wellness journey.

Steeped in cinematic charm and historical prestige, Cashel Palace has welcomed distinguished guests such as Jackie Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor. As noted by Robb Report’s Mark Ellwood:
“Think of a stay here as a chance to overnight at an Irish-accented answer to Downton Abbey, all colonnaded halls, wood panelling and overstuffed chintzy sofas.”

Cashel Palace offers a distinctive blend of heritage, warm Irish hospitality, and a strong sense of place—an inspiring destination for international media exploring the very best of Ireland in design, cuisine, culture, and luxury travel.
