Powerscourt Hotel & Spa

Top choice


Wicklow's most luxurious hotel is this 200-room stunner on the grounds of the Powerscourt Estate. Inside this Marriott-managed property, the decor is a thoroughly contemporary version of the estate's Georgian style. Rooms are massive; some have balconies. There's a gourmet restaurant (three-course evening menu €65), a lounge serving afternoon tea, a traditional bar and a holistic ESPA spa.
