Half of the top ten were in Dublin with the top spot going to the capital city’s Westbury Hotel which scored an overall total of 98.21.
The results will be extra special for the winning hotels as they were voted by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler.
The list was compiled by taking an average rating left to hotels by the 429,000 users of the site.

2. Ballyfin, Laois
View this post on InstagramWelcome to the exquisite Ballyfin Country House Hotel in Port Laoise, Ireland! With a glorious history that includes a painstaking, 9 year restoration, Ballyfin regains its throne as one of Ireland’s most lavish country retreats. Situated on a sprawling 614 acre estate, this 20 bedroom Regency manor house has been beautifully refurbished. Food is sourced from the garden and local farms; you can even pick their own fruit or collect eggs. Activities range from falconry and fishing on the lake to enjoying cooking demonstrations and whiskey tastings in the cellar. There are some great benefits available too – contact me to book! #ballyfin #luxuryhotelandspa #portlaoise #ireland #countrymanor #adventureholiday #familyholiday #romanticgetaway #perfectwedding #perfecthoneymoon #contactmetoday #360privatetravel
