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. Yes, love it or hate it, there’s no real avoiding the hearts, flowers and love-filled fest that is St Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re loved up, …
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 …
One of the most important holidays in Ireland apart from St. Patrick’s day is Easter. As a celebration of new life in all its forms, many choose this time to travel for new adventures or to be closer to family, both of which are great opportunities to get outdoors and partake in some fun activities. With Cork City being selected as the European Capital of culture, you can be sure this city is full of fun for the Easter holidays. …
