Adare Manor

Adare Manor

If you want to feel like a king or queen, this isolated and modern palace in the middle of 840 acres of forests, meadows, lagoons and greenery, is the place for you. On the banks of the Maigue River, which runs through County Limerick in Ireland, this hotel is known as one of the best luxury hotels in Europe.

The original building was built in the first half of the 18th century by the second Earl of Dunraven, Henry Windham, who decided to build a “Calendar House,” which symbolically contains architectural elements in quantities that represent the respective numbers of days in a year, weeks in a year, months in a year and days in a week.

Designed in a neo-Gothic style by James Connolly, James Pain and George Richard Henry, the hotel refers to the calendar with its 365 windows (days of the year), 52 chimneys (weeks of the year), 7 pillars (days of the week) and 4 towers (seasons of the year). The most striking section of the palace is its gigantic gallery, 132 feet long and 26.5 feet high, inspired by the hall of mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. This splendid palace was finally inaugurated in 1860.

The property belonged to the Dunraven family for over 100 years, and was later purchased by a European investment firm. In the 1980s, it became a luxurious hotel equipped with a golf course that has hosted international stars such as Catherine Zeta Jones, Tiger Woods, and former President Bill Clinton, among other celebrities.
