Guests to the hotel will now be able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings both inside and outside to make the most of their stay.

New standout features include large, viewing windows overlooking the stunning Gap of Dunloe, the narrow mountain-pass between the peaks MacGillycuddy’s Reeks and Purple Mountain.

Many of the most attractive features of the hotel have remained, such as pieces of art and furniture, and the stained glass flower windows.

The refurbishment has been a major success and Dunloe will remain a popular location for weddings, and luxury getaways.

“The hotel has a rich history but in all its many years has never looked as good as it does now,” said Michael Brennan, MD of Killarney Hotels Ltd.

The work was carried out by local building company Griffin Brothers, with the redesign of the gardens and carpark was completed by Tralee-based Designer Landscapes Ltd.
