Waterford is Ireland's oldest city, founded by the Vikings over a thousand years ago, and today boasts a captivating blend of ancient history and contemporary flair. Your hotel's central location is perfect for exploring the Viking Triangle, the city's cultural and heritage quarter, where you can connect with Ireland’s Viking roots. Be sure to visit the Waterford Treasures attractions, including the Bishop's Palace, Waterford Medieval Museum, and Reginald's Tower - the oldest civic building in the country. You can also see the world-famous Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre nearby.

Beyond the city, Waterford County is home to stunning coastline and the peaks of the Comeragh Mountains. Active travellers can explore the famous Waterford Greenway, a cycling and walking route that starts just five minutes from the hotel. For a lovely day trip, drive along the spectacular Copper Coast, a UNESCO Global Geopark featuring 25 kilometres of shoreline with cliffs, coves, and sea stacks, or visit the picturesque seaside town of Tramore for surfing or a leisurely stroll along Ireland’s longest beach.
