Adare Manor, Ireland's most anticipated luxury hotel project, will reopen its doors on November 2, 2017, following a multi-phase restoration, renovation and expansion. The groundbreaking transformation will honor the history of the 19th century wonder, while providing an enriched guest experience, debuting a new 42-bedroom wing, expansive ballroom for 350 guests, La Mer spa, Tom Fazio designed championship golf course, and exceptional gastronomy program.
Spearheaded by acclaimed architects RSA, the transformation will preserve the building's architectural heritage as a Neo-Gothic masterpiece, while incorporating the contemporary luxuries and technological conveniences to meet the needs of today's luxury traveler.
“November 2nd will mark the celebratory beginning of Adare Manor's new legacy, as we unveil a monumental refurbishment of this historic estate,” said General Manager Paul Heery. “Our team has worked to create a vision that not only celebrates the property's charm and long-standing heritage, but also promises a memorable guest experience.”
Steeped in history and hidden secrets, each bedroom in the Manor House is individually designed with its own personal touches, paying tribute to the creative force behind the original Manor – Lady Caroline Dunraven. The final transformation will bring the total guestroom count to 104.
Beyond the accommodations, Adare Manor partnered with legendary skin care brand La Mer, to unveil the UK and Ireland's first and only La Mer Spa – one of only eleven in the world. Set within the heart of the Manor, this secluded sanctuary will provide an unparalleled experience for relaxation and renewal throughout its five treatment rooms, nail salon, fitness center, indoor swimming pool and relaxation area.
Adare Manor's crowning feature, the 18-hole, par 72 golf course, designed by Tom Fazio, has been reimagined the by legendary designer, and will debut in spring 2018. Promised to be one of the best in all of Europe, the course has been entirely restructured with the incorporation of cutting-edge SubAir technology. The new course will match the timeless grandeur of the Manor House with a classic and well-manicured look, while enjoying modern conveniences for an unparalleled golfing experience, making it a sought-after location for competitive play.
Further enhancing the guest experience are four distinct dining experiences. Signature restaurant, The Oak Room, sets the standard for culinary excellence, offering an intimate candle-lit setting in the lovingly restored oak-paneled dining room. Serving breakfast and afternoon tea, The Gallery is a magnificent dining destination in the heart of the Manor House, featuring 17th century Flemish choir stalls, hand-carved wall panels and three enormous marble fireplaces. Beneath the lobby level lies The Tack Room bar, a lively enclave that will play host to troubadours of great renown for traditional and contemporary Irish music. Outside of the Manor House, guests will find The Carriage House restaurant, an extension of the golf clubhouse set to debut in the spring of 2018. Ahead of its opening, The Carriage House will “pop up” in The Gallery to serve a selection of dishes for lunch and dinner as part of an exclusive preview.
Adare Manor is surrounded by 842 acres of medieval ruins, walled gardens and manicured trails that have been entirely enhanced, and will be matched with on-site activities including falconry, archery, clay pigeon shooting, fishing along River Maigue, and curated children's programming.
