What this immense 120-room contemporary hotel lacks in character, it makes up for in amenities: a state-of-the-art leisure centre with a gym, steam room and swimming pool plus a beauty salon, restaurant, bar and nightclub. Executive rooms have balconies overlooking a golf course. Ask for one of the deluxe rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and views of both of Armagh's cathedrals.
