Chic rooms warmed by underfloor heating are individually decorated with bespoke furniture and luxurious fabrics at this contemporary olive-green property on the northwestern edge of town. Public areas mix vintage and designer pieces. Run by the same owners as Kenmare's superb restaurant No 35, its adjoining stone-and-brick gastropub, Casey's, is first-rate. It's a 750m stroll from the centre.
