Overview

Dromoland Castle is one of Ireland’s most iconic luxury hotels, a magnificent 16th-century castle set within a pristine 500-acre estate of lakes, ancient woodlands and manicured gardens in County Clare. With its grand towers, atmospheric stonework, refined interiors and world-class service, the castle offers an unforgettable experience that blends historic elegance with five-star modern luxury. It is one of Ireland’s most prestigious places to stay, attracting guests from around the world for romantic escapes, luxury leisure breaks and unforgettable golf experiences.

Inside, the castle is a masterpiece of classic opulence — sweeping staircases, rich fabrics, antique furnishings, chandeliers and deep armchairs beside roaring fireplaces. Despite its grandeur, the atmosphere remains warm, welcoming and deeply comfortable. Rooms and suites are individually designed, blending period charm with contemporary amenities, luxurious bathrooms and beautiful views over the estate, lake or gardens.

Dining at Dromoland Castle is exceptional. The Earl of Thomond Restaurant offers Michelin-recommended fine dining featuring seasonal Irish ingredients and elegant presentation, while The Fig Tree Restaurant at the Golf & Country Club provides relaxed dining overlooking the greens. Afternoon tea in the historic drawing rooms is one of the castle’s signature experiences.

The estate’s championship golf course, designed by Ron Kirby, is one of Ireland’s most picturesque parkland layouts. Rolling terrain, mature trees, lakeside holes and immaculate conditioning create a memorable challenge for golfers of all levels. The practice facility and driving range are first-class, and the castle provides convenient access to the course for guests.

Beyond golf, Dromoland Castle offers a superb range of country pursuits, including falconry, clay shooting, horseback riding, fishing, boating, archery and scenic estate walks. The luxurious Dromoland Spa features treatment rooms, a relaxation suite, thermal facilities and a serene environment perfect for unwinding.

With its historic grandeur, award-winning dining, world-class leisure facilities and breathtaking estate setting, Dromoland Castle is one of Ireland’s most enchanting luxury hotels — a truly unforgettable place to stay.
