Surrounded by a myriad of botanical, archaeological and cultural treasures with breathtaking views across Galway Bay and the visually enchanting Burren limestone landscape, Gregan's Castle Hotel, is the ultimate luxury hideaway. Dining is one of the highlights. Chef Mickael Viljanen's award winning and creative cuisine makes this one of the top gourmet destinations in Ireland. All bedrooms are individually and elegantly decorated, free from the intrusion of televisions and receive nightly turn down service. The Galway Bay Suite, located upstairs, has a magnificent view of Galway Bay, the Burren and the gardens. A stylish mix of fine antique furniture and paintings, together with a sprinkling of interesting modern Irish art, adorn this graceful house. Welcoming turf fires, candlelight and generous jugs of garden flowers add to the relaxing atmosphere. Gregan's Castle offers gardens and guided hikes and afterwards, a nice relaxing massage with one of their massage therapists. The location of Gregan's Castle, in The Burren, is ideal for exploring this natural wonder and also for visiting the Cliffs of Moher. This is the perfect hotel for active travelers who are interested in hiking, biking, scuba diving, horseback riding and golf. Gregan's Castle received Andrew Harper's Grand Award 2009. Food and Wine Magazine has rated the restaurant at Gregan's Castle the 6th best in Ireland.
