Our Story

At the Heart of Killarney

 

At Killarney Towers Hotel & Leisure Centre, our story is shaped by place, people and a genuine love for hospitality. Located right in the centre of Killarney town, we’ve been welcoming guests for decades; travellers drawn by adventure, atmosphere and the unmistakable energy of Kerry.

We are proud members of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection, a family-owned collection of hotels with deep roots in Killarney. Alongside our sister hotels, the Killarney Avenue Hotel and the Killarney Plaza Hotel & Spa, we share a passion for warm welcomes, local connection and creating memorable stays that feel effortless and authentic.

A Hotel Shaped by Its Surroundings

Killarney has always been a place where stories unfold, from ancient landscapes and legendary trails to nights filled with music, laughter and conversation. Killarney Towers grew alongside the town itself, evolving into a hotel that reflects both sides of the Killarney experience: buzzing by day, vibrant by night.

Our central location has always been part of who we are. Step outside our doors and you’re immediately immersed in the centre of town’s shops, cafés, pubs and live music – while the lakes, forests and mountains of Kerry lie just minutes away.

Hospitality with Heart (and Personality)

Being part of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection means hospitality runs in our DNA. Family-owned and proudly local, the collection is built on quality, genuine service, attention to detail and a strong sense of place – values that guide everything we do at Killarney Towers.

Our team brings that spirit to life every day. Friendly, knowledgeable and naturally welcoming, we love sharing insider tips and making sure every guest feels relaxed, comfortable and right at home.
