Christmas in Cork

And just like that, summer fades into fall, the kids return to school, the holidays are over, and bang—everyone is suddenly thinking about hibernation.  Hibernation can only mean one thing.  Winter is approaching.  And what springs to mind when you think of winter? Christmas!!!  Yes, it gets earlier every year!  Yes, you’ve no doubt seen the shops starting to stock-pile the Roses and Quality Streets, the slow but sure arrival of the tinsel, and the Instagram pop-ups to book your ...

Top things to do on a weekend in Cork

As the summer days slowly start to fade and signs of autumn begin to appear, you might be forgiven for feeling a little glum.  Where has the time gone?  One minute we were lounging on a beach (or at least in our dreams) and now, we’re already planning the return to school/college/work!  Feeling like you didn’t quite reach your peak this summer and fancy a last-minute/early autumn pick-me-up?  A weekend away in Cork’s Rebel City is always a good idea.  ...

Why a Late Summer Getaway to Cork is a Great Idea?

Where has the time gone?  We’re already halfway through summer!  The back-to-school advertising has begun, people are starting to talk about getting back to routine. Dare we say, signs of autumn are starting to appear. If you haven’t yet had a breakaway or sorted out a holiday, don’t panic!  There is still time!  Perhaps you would just like a little pick-me up before September comes—a pause, a reset of sorts?  We may be a tad biased but our boutique hotel, ...

Cork Summer Bucket List

We beg to differ! We’ve had a few scorchers over the past few days and we’ve already gone into full summer mode.

Top 10 Things To Do In Cork City

Holiday season is upon us and one of the most common questions we get asked at Hotel Isaacs is for recommendations on some of the best things to see and do in Cork City. It’s a challenging question because the Rebel City simply has so much to offer from amazing bars and restaurants to stunning city walks to some of the best high-street and independent stores.

Easter Getaways in Cork City

If you walk around the supermarket, you’ve probably noticed the shelves are filled to the brim with Easter eggs. Traditionally, Easter is a religious celebration but commercially, it’s really all about stuffing your face with chocolate. Of course, in the hospitality industry, Easter along with St Patrick’s Day typically marks the start of our busy tourism season and there is definitely a nice hustle and bustle about the place these days as we eagerly await the start of a fun-filled ...

Freebies In Cork City

And just like that- Spring is upon us! Who hasn’t heard someone marvel at the ‘grand old stretch’ in the evenings or some of the milder temperatures we’ve been experiencing? Indeed, it’s true! Excuse the pun but Spring is starting to spring and here at Hotel Isaacs, we are starting to feel the beginnings of an exciting tourist season fast-approaching. We’re also busy putting the finishing touches to our brand new Spring menu in Ireland’s number one cocktail bar-Cask. Is ...

Spring Love Breaks In Cork

Yes, it’s that time of year again where red and pink explode on to the market, cheesy rhymes are back in vogue, and everything seems hearts and flowers! It’s enough to make you float on air or feel nauseous depending on your personal feelings towards the day. Yes, love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is upon us! Admittedly, we feel we’re still in recovery from Christmas. Has it already been a month? Weren’t the decorations only up just yesterday? ...

Counting Down to the New Year in Cork

Ah, that idyllic Christmas scene we all know and love so well…. Of course, the reality is not always quite so peaceful.  Whether it’s the kids fighting over their new toys, those seriously boring relatives you have to endure once a year or just the general claustrophobia and inertia of living in a turkey coma- there is no denying that Christmas is not without its own unique challenges. This might possibly explain why those days between Christmas and New Year are ...

A Cork Christmas

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! At our boutique hotel, we are in the throes of preparing for the fast-approaching Christmas season.  Suffice to say, everything is very merry and bright here these days. We have decked the halls with boughs of hall, twinkling fairy lights and that’s before we even venture outside into our courtyard-our very own Winter Wonderland with the star of the show- Cork City’s only waterfall currently home to a larger than ...
