The Ross

Killarney’s only boutique hotel, The Ross opened in September 2006 offering a truly unique blend of warm, friendly Irish hospitality with a surprisingly dramatic backdrop! In its previous life, The Ross Hotel was renowned as a cozy, comfortable hotel and the legacy of that existence is still evident in the warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere but with a new, fresh, modern style which we invite you to experience today.

Located in the heart of the historic and bustling town of Killarney, set in the Kingdom of Kerry with the magnificent Killarney National Park just across the road, The Ross is an ideal base from which to explore the beauty of the Ring of Kerry, Muckross House and Farms, Dingle, Kenmare, Beara and much, much more.

As soon as you enter the Ross the friendly welcome of our staff will immediately set the tone for your stay. Choose between the Pink Lounge or The Lane Café Bar for your morning cappuccino or afternoon tea and watch as all of Killarney passes you by.

Please note all guests staying in the Ross have the use of the Pool & Spa facilities within our sister property across the road, The Killarney Park Hotel,
Spa Treatments should be pre-booked before arrival at hotel & can be requested at time of booking.

Cellar One Restaurant is located on 2 levels of The Ross – a 20 seat mezzanine level and a 40 seat lower level dining room. The innovative design of this restaurant with its stainless steel and glass curving staircase, reflecting warm lights and vaulted ceiling create a dramatic setting for a chic, yet fuss-free, dining venue.

The Lane Bar is a hip and lively meeting spot that is the backdrop to the most chic cocktail bar in Killarney. With one whole side of the bar exposed to the outside lane by glass and the generous use of natural wood, stone and light flooding in, this venue is a must for both guests and locals.
