Cashel Palace features 42 individually designed rooms and suites, many with views of the Rock or tranquil gardens.

Dining is a highlight, with The Bishop’s Buttery offering fine cuisine in an atmospheric setting with original vaulted ceilings.

The spa at Cashel Palace is a peaceful retreat, complete with a heated outdoor pool, sauna, salt room, and a menu of personalized 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.
