If you'd like some outdoor adventure, pay a visit to Purple Mountain. No easy stroll around the block, this hike is fantastic for some mid-vacation exercise.

Purple Mountain is an interesting place to begin discovering Killarney. This steep landmass comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Gap of Dunloe, INEC Killarney, and Killarney National Park to fully experience what the area has to offer.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (486 reviews)

It's a lovely little hotel on a quiet street near a park, a short walk away from lots of great food and drink -- faves include the Copper Room, the Glen Tavern & Freddies, and in the other direction, Bobby Byrne's. Also, as this is No 1 Pery Square, do go see the museum at No 2 Pery Square, so you know some of the history of the area.

On our 3 week tour of Ireland, the Savoy was the nicest hotel we stayed at. Service was excellent, large modern clean rooms and bathroom was very impressive. Parking was across the street in a car park that was large and easy to access. Front Desk were very helpful with all of our stay and food in the restaurants was markedly price and very good.
