Steeped in heritage and reimagined with contemporary luxury, this Relais & Châteaux property offers an elegant blend of history, comfort, and exceptional Irish hospitality.

Originally built in 1732 for the Church of Ireland’s archbishop, the property has been sensitively restored, retaining its stately charm while introducing modern comforts. The grand entrance hall, wood-panelled drawing rooms, and serene gardens all evoke a sense of timeless refinement. Cashel Palace features 42 individually designed rooms and suites, many with views of the Rock or tranquil gardens. Rooms are appointed with classic furnishings, sumptuous textiles, and bespoke touches that reflect the region’s character. Dining is a highlight, with The Bishop’s Buttery offering fine cuisine in an atmospheric setting with original vaulted ceilings. Ingredients are locally sourced, celebrating Irish produce with creative flair. The more casual Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen next door offers hearty fare and a relaxed pub-style atmosphere. The spa at Cashel Palace is a peaceful retreat, complete with a heated outdoor pool, sauna, salt room, and a menu of bespoke treatments using Bamford products. Wellness is woven into the guest experience, with garden walks and yoga sessions on offer. Guests can explore the rich history of Tipperary, from the Rock of Cashel to nearby Cahir Castle and the Glen of Aherlow. Horse-lovers will appreciate the hotel’s close ties to the world-renowned Coolmore Stud, and experiences can be arranged on request. Whether for a romantic getaway, cultural escape, or countryside retreat, Cashel Palace delivers a memorable stay defined by grace, heritage, and warm Irish charm.
