Summer has finally arrived and here, at Hotel Isaacs, we are basking in the delights of sunshine and the newfound warmth the days are bringing. We have added some fresh seasonal additions to our fine dining restaurant-Greenes and of course, what better way to check out our pretty courtyard with its very own waterfall than with some of the sensational cocktails on offer at Ireland’s number one cocktail bar, Cask? Of course, one of the many wonderful things about a …
Ah there’s a grand old stretch in the evenings! Yes, the clocks have sprung forward, the birds are singing, the lambs are leaping, and suddenly, the world is awaking from its winter slumber. Here at Hotel Isaacs, we love this time of year as we excitedly celebrate the delights of spring and being able to fit that little bit more into our days as we embrace the long-awaited seasonal changes. Of course, spring is a great time to shake things …
Hail Glorious Saint Patrick dear saint of our Isle. Yes, it’s that time of year again. The days are getting longer, the birds are starting to sing and our season is about to kick off in the only way it can with a big celebration of our national Saint’s Day. That’s Saint’s Patrick in case you didn’t guess from the title of this article! He banished the snakes from our land and made us respectable Christians. Every year, we like …
Where has the time gone? Does anyone else feel like January is flying by? Wasn’t it only yesterday we were in twinkly Christmas spirit mode? Well, if the January blues have got you down and you’re looking for something to put a fresh twinkle back into your eyes, the season of love is fast approaching.

The excitement is mounting here at Hotel Isaacs especially in our Christmas themed courtyard. And whilst it’s cold out there, we couldn’t be happier than in our very own Winter Wonderland resplendent with glittering trees, warming drinks, Christmas carols, cosy bedrooms and some of Ireland’s finest cuisine at our award-winning Greenes Restaurant. Did we mention it looks out on Cork City’s only waterfall or that we have our very own majestic Christmas tree proudly taking up residence there for the …
And almost as quick as you can say “Boo” Halloween has been dumped and replaced by Christmas. No hard feelings eh? We certainly don’t. Christmas is our favourite time of the year at Hotel Isaacs. Glitter, tinsel, trees, lights, baubles…you name it, we have it! Yes, our elves have been busily decorating our boutique hotel the past week and we can’t wait to show you. We like to create our own Winter Wonderland at this time of the year. Our …
Tis’ the last days of summer. Whilst it is somewhat normal to bemoan the slow but sure arrival of autumn, there is something refreshing about the (slightly) cooler temperatures, the impending cosiness and the general autumnal lushness that awaits us. September is frequently seen as a month to reset after a hectic summer. The kids have returned to school, you’ve made it through an intense summer of non-stop activities and now, there’s that moment to breathe and think “what now?” …
The best time of the year is here and even the weather seems to be cooperating these days as we glide into the summer months. Our boutique hotel loves summer and suffice to say we are definitely in the mood for some summer adventures. Ireland’s number one cocktail bar, Cask is already putting the final touches to its summer menu (is there really any better combination than summer and cocktails?), our award-winning Greenes Restaurant is set for some alfresco dining …
Christmas Gifts November is here… is it safe to say Christmas yet? We think so anyway! And after the year we’ve had, all we can say is BRING IT ON! We can’t wait to get our tinsel on and some cringe-worthy Christmas jingles a-playing as we rock and bop ourselves around our attention-grabbing Christmas tree as we eagerly await the madness to begin. Of course, let’s be honest… Christmas can be stressful. Whether that’s the hunt for the perfect mince …
January is here! And yes, perhaps it isn’t quite the “New Year, New Start” we all would like right now but let’s be frank: has January ever been the most exciting month of the year? One could argue that if you’re going to be in a lockdown, there isn’t really a better time of the year to be in one. With more exercise, healthier eating, and decluttering some of the top new year’s resolutions, there is no denying that being …
