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 …
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 …

Can you believe it’s already July? Where did June go? Maybe it’s a case of time really flying when you’re having fun! We certainly are having lots of fun this summer at our boutique hotel. Greenes Restaurant diners are loving the chance to dine alfresco by our waterfall and Cask Bar has just launched its summer menu. We admit we are a little bit obsessed with it. Travel has well and truly bounced back, and we are loving the buzz …
New Year ~ New You! Out with the old and in with the new! Yes, January is typically a time of new beginnings, a time to strategise, to do better and be more. The same is true in our Cork city-centre hotel except we could say it’s very much a case of “New Year, New General Manager” with the appointment of Clement Gleeson arriving in the Rebel City. Welcome Clement Normally, we would be bemoaning the end of the festive …
Ah Christmas time- is it really all mistletoe and wine and chestnuts roasting on an open fire? We think not! In the midst of all this festive cheer (or madness), one would be forgiven for just wanting to throw the unwanted pair of Christmas socks at Auntie Jane and run off for some tender loving care. Let’s be real: Christmas can be exhausting. There’s the stress of finding the perfect gift for people we only see once a year, not …
Opened last summer, the Nano Nagle Centre is the new kid on the block on Cork’s eclectic visitor trail and is a must for any visitor looking for something a little different, something beyond the typical museum or gallery experience.
