Dublin, Ireland

The K Club is an opulent, old world styled hotel located approximately half an hour west of Dublin. This magnificent property is set within vast leafy grounds traversed by the River Liffey. The property features two championship Arnold Palmer golf courses as well as the third largest spa in all of Ireland.

In additional to the wide range of entertainment options, the resort offers numerous dining facilities. Choices range from casual eateries, such as The K Thai, an Asian inspired eatery, and the golf-themed Legends Restaurant, to fine dining choices. The Byerley Turk is the hotel’s premiere restaurant set within a grand room outfitted with an ornate carpet, brocade wall coverings, and marble columns. Afternoon tea is served in the lavish Chinese Drawing Room, while evening drinks can be enjoyed in either the Media Puzzle Lounge or the Vintage Crop Cocktail Bar, both of which are named after prestigious racehorses.

The sophisticated atmosphere of the common areas carries through to the elegant guest rooms. All guest rooms have been individually decorated with traditional elements, such as patterned wallpaper, original paintings and antiques. Rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a Nespresso coffee machine.
