Situated in the heart of Killarney town, the Great Southern is set in 20 acres of landscaped grounds, its ivy clad facade and imposing Victorian features are a reminder of the elegance of a bygone era.

The great gilt domed restaurant that is home to the Garden Room Restaurant is one of the most spectacular settings for a dining experience. It took miles of gold leaf to highlight the intricate features of the ceiling. The room overlooks the hotel's wonderful gardens. This combined with the attentive service and imaginative menus on offer lend a sense of occasion to every meal.
