The Great Southern Hotel is one of Ireland’s most beautiful hotels – it has been famous for over 160 years. Originally opened as the Railway Hotel in 1854, it became the Great Southern Hotel in the early 1900s. The Great Southern Hotel has a superb and unrivaled location. When you add in its wonderful architecture retained from those Victorian times, its world class hospitality, its position at the start of the iconic Ring of Kerry, and its 6 acres of beautiful gardens in the center of bustling Killarney Town, the Great Southern Hotel truly deserves to join the WOW Factor family of products.

Our 4 bedroom, 3 Town Homes are located within The Great Southern complex, right in the very heart of Killarney. In addition to enjoying your own private Penthouse or Town-house accommodations, you can enjoy all the facilities of the luxurious four plus star Great Southern Hotel — the multiple restaurants, The Punchbowl Bar, the Spa and the Whiskey Tasting Corner which proudly stocks an exquisite selection to tempt our whiskey connoisseur guests.

The numerous temptations of Killarney are just steps away. World class restaurants, singing pubs, the Ring of Kerry, Killarney National Park, championship golf courses, boutiques, cafes, art galleries, Mackillicuddies Reeks, Molls Gap, jaunting cars, Killarney’s Lakes, Ross Castle – an unbelievable collection of history and modern possibilities. Not to mention the UNESCO World Heritage site of Skellig Michael, where Star Wars: The Last Jedi was filmed, only 5o miles away.  And, of course, the world famous Irish ‘craic’ is everywhere.
