The K Club
Rating:
This long standing member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts offers the very best of pampering and leisure. Back in 1991 it became Ireland?s first AA Five Red Star Property and to this day it continues to deliver the very highest levels of service and standards in terms of its food and beverage offerings, golf, leisure and spa treatments. The K Club is home to two Championship Golf Courses - The Palmer Ryder Cup Course and the Palmer Designed Smurfit Course, both hailed among the world's finest golf resorts. The K Club was the chosen venue for the 2006 Ryder Cup whilst the K Spa is an oasis of calm. This is a fantastic resort for anyone visiting Co.Dublin or Co.Kildare. (GW 05/2014) ## Location The Kildare Hotel - at The K Club - is located in the heart of idyllic Irish countryside on the banks of the River Liffey in Straffan, Co.Kildare. The mature estate covers an impressive 550 acres and also features a stunning Victorian walled garden and fishing on the river which runs through the resort. Dublin is only 30 minutes away and the airport 40 minutes.. ## Restaurant A range of award winning dining facilities are available to choose from and include both fine dining and informal options. Within the hotel, Byerley Turk invites you on a gastronomic journey with a six course tasting menu, whilst the River Room Restaurant provides vibrant, yet relaxed dining in an informal atmosphere overlooking extensive landscaped gardens and the River Liffey. New in 2014 is the K Thai & South East Asia Restaurant in The Smurfit Clubhouse over the Palmer course.. ## Exterior Built in 1832, the original house was modelled on a French Château and still retains many of its original architectural features, art work and antiques. It opened as a luxury hotel in 1991 and was Ireland?s first AA Five Red Star Property. It is truly stunning on the eye.. ## Lobby Like entering a stately home, the lobby is a good size with a winding staircase, huge high ceilings and very elegant.
