“It is truly an honor for us here at The K Club to receive this award,” said Michael Davern, Chief Executive & General Manager. “To be singled out by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine as one of the world’s best resorts is such an important endorsement of what our hospitality team strives to do each day here at our resort ~ to provide a five star experience to all our guests.”
The former Irish manor house, which dates to the early 1800’s, is today one of Ireland’s most treasured resorts. The exquisite K Club is surrounded by stunning gardens, including a 19th Century Walled Garden, 550 acres of mature grounds, formal gardens and river walkways. Private walkways lead guests to secluded areas while two stately white wrought iron bridges, dating to the 19th century, provide safe passage to what is known as 'The Island of Inis Mor' -- an island “folly” situated in the middle of two watery arms of the River Liffey, which flows through the estate en route to Dublin.
A plethora of activities are available at The K Club, including outdoor pursuits such as horse riding, fishing, falconry and world-class golf on two championship Arnold Palmer courses. Guests can also enjoy complimentary art and history tours of the stunning original manor house, which houses an impressive collection of Irish and international art. One of the rooms in the manor house, The Yeat's Room, is home to the largest private collection of Jack B. Yeat's paintings in the country and is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy Morning Coffee or Afternoon Tea.
Located on the banks of the picturesque River Liffey near the quaint village of Straffan, The K Club provides five star accommodations, dining and recreational opportunities within an estate-like setting. The historic Straffan House, along with the former manor house’s beautifully-blended extensions, offers sumptuous interiors and exquisite antique appointments. Superb service complements the majestic interiors and a priceless art collection, including a replica of The Book of Kells and an intimate collection of artistic masterpieces by Jack B. Yeats. The K Club’s cuisine is the very best, as would be expected of a resort that regularly hosts European Royalty. Just 30 minutes away is one of the world’s great destination cities, Dublin.
Ireland is just 5 hours by air from the US northeast ~ closer than a flight to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
