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.

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.

Long-Stay Apartments In Cork City
Cork City- we love it! The vibrancy, the colour, the endless activities to choose from, how close we are to everything and of course, all the wonderful hidden gems! It never ceases to amaze us how we keep discovering new things to see and do just when we think we’ve exhausted everything the city has to offer. And, here at Hotel Isaacs, we too have some of our very own hidden gems. Did you know that our boutique hotel also ...

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 ...
