Perched in a verdant green valley overlooking Killarney’s spectacular landscape, The Europe Hotel & Resort serves up the best of Ireland’s countryside, an area called “The Kingdom.” Its lakeside location on the shores of Loch Léin provides enviable uninterrupted vistas of the fog-clad MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range that can easily be enjoyed from almost anywhere within the luxury hotel.
That’s not to say that the interiors aren’t a sight to behold. Plush armchairs and roaring fires invite you to unwind in the spacious marble-filled lobby, while walls of windows keep those stunning views within arm’s reach. The chic ESPA at The Europe spa pairs scenic vistas with star-inspired chandeliers that twinkle overhead while you swim in the indoor-outdoor pool. And aptly named signature restaurant Panorama keeps its design simple, letting the food — and the scenery — speak for itself.
- The Europe Hotel & Resort takes full advantage of its picturesque panoramas with wall-to-wall windows in nearly every gathering space and patios in all 180 rooms and suites from which to soak up the views.
- Contemporary accommodations blend Irish charm with modern creature comforts. Think standalone wooden desks paired with plush leather chairs and aesthetically pleasing ornamental libraries.
- Catch a spot of sunshine in the Killarney hotel’s immaculately manicured garden. Take in misty mountains and lake views from the perfectly trimmed hedges.
- While away a day in the two-story ESPA at The Europe. Pop in for a quick facial or indulge in a three-plus-hour Body Detox ritual, and then stay for the alluring indoor-outdoor pool.
- The luxury hotel is home to a herd of adorable Haflinger ponies that can often be seen grazing the verdant grounds. Ask the concierge for a tour of the grounds via horseback, a gratis perk of a stay at The Europe Hotel & Resort.
- Irish produce gets an upscale makeover at The Panorama Restaurant, The Europe Hotel & Resort’s fine-dining venue. Seasonal menu offerings often feature local bounty, including beef and lamb from the hotel’s own farm. It also provides a thoughtful selection of vegan dishes like smoked cauliflower with whipped vegan feta and pine nut gremolata, as well as an onion and thyme tarte tatin enriched with a red wine and balsamic reduction.
- Enjoy more casual — but no less delicious — Irish fare at The Brasserie. If the weather is agreeable, be sure to snag a seat on the terrace. Burgers just seem to taste better with mountain vistas.
- For flavorful Mediterranean fare overlooking the lake, head for Riva. In addition to classic dinner selections, the restaurant also offers a dedicated pizza menu after 6 p.m. featuring artisanal pies like Calabrian spicy nduja sausage and a meat-free option packed with roasted vegetables and goat cheese.
- Visit the wood-paneled Bar to sink into a leather chair with a pour from the lengthy whiskey or gin menus.
- Under The Lounge’s 24-karat gold-leaf ceiling, nosh a Caesar salad or The Europe open seafood sandwich — Atlantic prawns and smoked salmon on brown bread.
