Two Galway hotels have been named as among the best in Ireland by the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.
The g Hotel & Spa and Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate have been named among the Top 12 Hotels in Ireland.
These 12 hotels were picked out in the 2023 Readers Choice Awards for Conde Nast Traveler.
The Glenlo Abbey placed 9th on the list, with a score of 95.32 out of 100. The g Hotel came in 11th place, scoring 94.69.
The g Hotel was praised for its incredible glamour after a recent makeover, while retaining a local style in Conde Nast.
“Think Elizabeth David and Princess Margaret with just a teaspoon of Sputnik, which is to say postwar whimsy with strong classical roots.”
“Though the hotel overlooks a busy access road leading into one of Europe’s fastest growing cities, all is forgiven once you’re actually inside and a succession of funky public rooms strung together on the ground floor create a powerful frisson of visual excitement”.
“One salon is all cotton-candy pink, while the main one is taupe with a ceiling dense with Tom Dixon lamps and peat bricks burning in the grate.”Â
The magazine also gushed about the incredible comfort of the hotel rooms, calling them a wonderful place to hole up on a rainy weekend.
The top hotel in Ireland according to the readers of Conde Nast Traveler is The Westbury in Dublin.
