A LIMERICK hotel has been named the top resort in Europe for the second year in a row by the readers of a prestigious travel guide.
The readers of Condé Nast Traveller voted Limerick’s Adare Manor as the top resort in Europe (excluding Greece) for 2023 in their Readers’ Choice Awards.
With a score of 97.22, the local hotel beat locations in Spain, France, and Italy to take the top spot.
Brendan O’Connor, General Manager of Adare Manor, said that the vote is a “source of satisfaction” for them and said that their aim is to make sure every guest has a memorable experience.
“We are genuinely thrilled to be recognised as the Best Resort in Europe for the second time by Condé Nast Traveler, and therefore by the most important people to all of us here at the resort — our guests.”
“Being chosen as their absolute favourite resort in Europe by voters who have visited and experienced our ‘Beyond Everything’ approach to what we do is such a source of satisfaction and reward to all our team at Adare Manor,” he said.
“It is really gratifying to have our commitment to making sure every experience at Adare Manor is truly special rewarded with this win, whether you’re dropping into us from the village or from across the world,” Mr O’Connor said.
Elsewhere in Ireland, Ashford Castle in County Mayo took spot number four with a score of 96.86, with sister property the Lodge at Ashford Castle taking the eighth spot with a score of 96.11.
The Europe Hotel and Resort in Killarney came in ninth place with a score of 95.92.
