About this property
Situated in the heart of Killarney, the historic Arbutus Hotel has been run by the same family for over 86 years. This hotel offers free WiFi in public areas. Each room has its own distinctive décor, and some rooms have the original Celtic Deco style from the 1920s. In the mornings, freshly cooked breakfasts can be enjoyed until 11:00. This is served alongside fresh scones. Guests can enjoy a fine pint in the award-winning Buckley's Bar, which also serves home-cooked meals made from traditional Irish recipes. The Arbutus is one of Killarney's original hotels. It is a 5-minute stroll from the train and bus station and only 10 minutes’ drive from Killarney National Park. The hotel is set amongst Killarney’s shops, pubs, and restaurants.
