My recent trip to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland was an unforgettable blend of luxury, history, and stunning landscapes. From five-star accommodations to iconic landmarks, every stop left a lasting impression.

Dublin: History and Warmth

I started in Dublin, staying at one of our Signature hotels, the Fitzwilliam Dublin, where sleek design and impeccable service provided the perfect base for exploring. St. Stephen’s Green offered a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. The nearby Grafton Street, only steps from my hotel, offered a full day’s worth of shopping and dining. Dublin’s rich history, vibrant culture, and friendly locals made it an ideal starting point for my journey.

Belfast: Game of Thrones and Natural Wonders

Belfast, the Signature hotel, The Fitzwilliam Belfast, delivered a luxurious stay in the heart of the city. The Game of Thrones Studio Tour was a standout experience, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the iconic series, and a visit to the Giant’s Causeway, with its breathtaking basalt columns, was equally memorable.

Derry: A City of Stories

Derry, with its historic city walls and powerful murals, provided a poignant glimpse into Ireland’s past. The city’s vibrant atmosphere and rich heritage made it a compelling stop on my journey. And for a fan of the series Derry Girls, it was delightful to visit the city and see the filming locations.

Galway: Tranquility and Adventure

In Galway, I stayed at Glenlo Abbey Hotel, located on the shores of Lough Corrib. The highlight of my stay was a falconry experience on the grounds. Dinner at the Pullman Cars restaurant, set in vintage train carriages, was a unique and memorable dining experience.

Luxury Across Ireland

From sipping tea at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin to Lough Eske Castle in Donegal, each luxury hotel I visited offered exceptional service and a connection to Ireland’s rich heritage. The combination of history, stunning landscapes, and world-class hospitality made this trip truly special.

Ireland’s charm is undeniable. Whether exploring its cities or immersing in its natural beauty, I’m already looking forward to returning many times in the near future.
