The g Hotel & Spa

Experience world-class service at The g Hotel & Spa, a striking style icon on Ireland's west coast. Having undergone a one-million-euro refurbishment, this five-star luxury destination, now under the direction of Leonardo Hotel Group Ireland, showcases a refreshing new look. Its spacious foyer, signature lounges, and opulent restaurant and cocktail bar all reflect distinct individual personalities.

Since its opening in 2005, the g Hotel has been celebrated for its fashion and design-forward approach, championed by its signature designer, Philip Treacy. The hotel consistently stands out with its use of contrasting dark and light, bold colours, and reflective elements such as large-scale lighting and mirrors. The interior also features vibrant artwork and imagery, paying homage to the supermodels of the era, all contributing to a brand that embraces individuality.

The Grand Salon, known for its natural light and double-height ceilings, offers views over Lough Atalia. It features a bespoke mirrored lighting installation by Tom Dixon. The design team from GW Design aimed to maintain a chic and elegant atmosphere, creating a feeling of subtle sophistication. A new jewel-like cocktail bar with a dramatic mirrored back bar reflects both the lough view and the lighting installation. The space is adorned with luxurious leathers and textured fabrics in soft taupes, greys, and hints of plum, providing a warm and relaxing setting for afternoon tea or a pre-dinner drink.

The G Hotel's restaurant, GEO, extends onto a new garden terrace, enriching the fresh botanical decor. An open-plan area features a cocktail bar, with walls adorned in a paradise scene of blossoms, ferns, palms, and leaves. Statement chandeliers and smoked mirrors subtly draw the eye through the restaurant, complemented by a palette of olive greens, coral accents, and abundant greenery that define GEO's new theme.

The hotel's two other Signature Lounges offer glamour with a subtle touch. The Pink Room exudes class and intrigue with blush pink velvets, tasseled chairs, and brass accents, creating a luxurious feel. In contrast, the Blue Room features a colour palette of ginger, charcoal, and rich timber. A texture palette of leathers, timber, and fabric wall panelling creates an inviting lounge for guests.

For a spa experience, consider the Thermal Suite. To maintain a serene atmosphere for all guests, numbers are limited. Reservations for all treatments and Thermal Therapy are required in advance of arrival. Residents can access the Thermal Suite for €25.

Couples particularly appreciate the hotel's location, which they rated 8.6 for a two-person trip.
