Christmas in Cork

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 ...

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 ...

Best Festivals In Cork City This Summer

Summer sun-something’s begun! Excuse the somewhat corny start to this blog entry (Is there anything that says summer more than a blaring of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John on ‘Summer Nights’) but we can surely be forgiven for feeling a little bit blissed out by how blessed we’ve been recently with all of this gorgeous weather. We are all feeling summery at the moment. Our guests are in fine form, Greenes Restaurant is sprucing up the menu to reflect ...
