Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection

We were upgraded to a suite. Really enjoyed the additional space and proximity to services and dining. Everything had been well thought out enhancing the sense of luxury and peace. Exactly what was required to rejuvenate. We would have loved to stay longer, will definitely be returning if possible. Dinner was superb and breakfast fabulous, everything you could want and more. My husband enjoyed a swim in the pool.

AMAZING STAY AS ALWAYS

The hotel is 30-40 minutes outside of Dublin and about same distance from airport. But the grounds are beautiful and if you want the experience of living in the Ireland’s countryside then this is the place. It boasts the 3rd best garden in the world. The staff was amazing. Some of the nicest, kindest and accomodating people. I can’t say enough about the front desk and concierge. Really go the extra mile. I had to wait on the phone because my luggage didn’t arrive in Dublin; the front desk told me to go to the restaurant and they would handle it. The front desk then walked ti the restaurant to get me because my presence was needed. Really more than I expected anyone to do. Also, on site restaurants and food choices are very good. The bar is excellent.

The hotel, facilities, lunch and dinner were all excellent. The only disappointment was the breakfast. It cost €28 which is fine but then it was an extra charge(€7.50) if you wanted an omelet or eggs Benedict etc...which I think is a bit cheeky considering how much you are paying. The filtered coffee, tea and cappuccino were all awful...seemed like very cheap tasting tea/coffee...as if they were all watered down. It's pretty easy to make a good cup of tea or coffee...I think they could improve on that.

The hotel is beautiful, as are the grounds. We were allocated a suite so we' were delighted. The bed was extremely comfortable also and the bathroom was amazing, sheer luxury.
