Scotts Hotel has been a fundamental part of this lively and bustling tourist town since 1930. The hotel was originally a 40 bed roomed hotel owned by Mr. John Scott & his wife Nora. The hotel was later taken over by John's son Eamonn and his wife Eileen. The O'Donoghue Family from The Gleneagle Hotel Group acquired the hotel in 1979 and in 1984 it under went extensive renovation and was expanded to include a new Beer Garden, Off-Licence and Travel Agency. Scotts Hotel became known throughout Ireland for its famous beer garden with its live Jazz session on Sunday morning. In 1998 the hotel was once again extended with the addition of 34 new bedrooms.
Today, Scotts Hotel has an original poster over the fireplace in the Snug bar declaring the opening of the Fitzgerald Stadium on June Bank Holiday, May 31st in 1936. The prices of admission on that historic occasion are worthy of notes with 3/- or 15c in modern parlance being charged for sideline seats; a mere 2/- or 5c for other parts.
In 2006 a complete redesign of the hotel was undertaken by The O'Donoghue Family. Originally 52 bedrooms, the newly constructed Scotts Hotel now boasts 120 guest bedrooms, suites and self catering apartments. The hotel also features a new 90 seater restaurant, which is open to both guest and non residents & three spacious bars. Along with the complete redevelopment of Scotts Hotel, a new pedestrian street was developed with a large underground public car park and 12 spacious shop units.
Scotts Hotel now offers visitors a completely new, contemporary setting in which to enjoy a relaxing break in Killarney, the O'Donoghue family still prides itself on offering guests the friendliest of welcomes and the most professional services at their family run hotel.
The following locations are in close proximity to Killarney Town
Ring of Kerry (20 mins from Killarney but 1/2 a dya in length to drive
Killarney is the usual starting point for people completing the Ring of Kerry, Ireland's best-known touring route. It is 110 miles (176 km) long and circles the Iveragh Peninsula through mountain passes, forests, bogs, skirting rivers, lakes and beautiful unspoilt beaches. The scenery is truly wonderful and there is much of interest along the route.
Dingle (1.5 hours)
The residents of Dingle, or An Daingean as it is now officially known, are the envy of everyone in Ireland. They live in what many agree is the most beautiful part in the country, in a strikingly attractive fishing village with fantastic pubs, rousing music, great restaurants and more characters per head of population than anywhere in the world. The key to Dingle is to visit as many pubs as you can while there. Seek out the old pubs frequented by the locals, sit up to the bar, order a drink and prepare to be entertained! The Dingle Peninsula on which the town is located is littered with ancient archeological sites including stone forts and many beehive huts. Scenically, the Peninsula is an absolute delight with every turn of the road revealing more of the achingly beautiful landscape. One highlight is the Slea Head loop drive from Dingle which is easily driven in an hour or cycled in an afternoon. For the energetic, a day spent climbing Mount Brandon, the peninsula's highest, will be richly rewarded. The views from the top on a clear day are absolutely stunning.Kenmare (30-45 mins)
Kenmare, with its pastel coloured houses, is the usual starting point for the Ring of Kerry round trip. The small town, founded by a handful of Englishmen in 1670, has every tourist convenience imaginable, including 2 of the most luxurious hotels in Ireland, both of which have been awarded the much coveted Michelin star: the Park Hotel and Sheen Falls Lodge. A trip round the peninsula of Iveragh should not be missed; it has some of the most magnificent landscape in Europe, as any of the hundreds of people on bicycles, motorbikes, cars and busses traveling the 110 mile long coast road will tell you. Starting the Ring of Kerry trip from Kenmare means that you will meet the countless busses from Killarney going the other way instead of being stuck behind them!Blarney Castle & Stone (1.5 hours)
Only a few miles from Cork City, Blarney is a charming village, most renowned for its castle and stone. The impressive castle, perched on solid limestone, dates from 1446 and is situated on magnificent grounds. To acquire "the gift of gab" one must kiss the Blarney Stone, which is located under the battlements at the very top of Blarney Castle. This involves bending over backwards at quite a height - not to be attempted by the faint-hearted!
The Blarney Stone is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney about 8 km from Cork, Ireland. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the Stone and tour the castle and its gardens. The word blarney has come to mean clever, flattering, or coaxing talk.
Cork City (2 hours)
In the bustling city of Cork, stroll the river walk at the University and pop into the Glucksman Gallery. Relax in a café, and hit Shandon Street, just a short walk from the main shopping district. Climb the 120 foot steeple, and ring the bells of Shandon. Soak up the city views as they fade into the countryside. Award-winning restaurants line the streets, and nightlife choices include Irish Traditional, classy nightclubs, theater, opera, plays, and dance. (Take the haunted night tour of the city jail—it’s a great way to start your evening with a bang.) Of course, there’s the Jameson Old Middleton Distillery in east Cork. Learn how Irish whiskey is made, and finish with a tasting. As for Ennis, her beautiful medieval streets, narrow and meandering past small colorful shops, are enchanting.Kinsale (3 hours)
Located just 16 miles from Cork City in a naturally protected harbour, Kinsale is one of the most picturesque, popular and fashionable towns on the south-west coast. Kinsale is a centre for yachting, sea angling, gourmet eating and golf. Restaurants in Kinsale pride themselves on their high reputation for culinary expertise, and the Good Food Circle has been organizing a Gourmet Festival here every autumn for over 25 years. A charming town, its narrow streets are steeped in history and its harbour is always full of boats. Visit the museum housed in the French Prison or, just outside the town, the star-shaped Charles Fort with its spectacular views, before retiring to one of the town's many cozy atmospheric pubs.We value your privacy!
