2014 Award Winners BUSINESS HOTEL OF THE YEAR 2014

Limerick Strand Hotel, Limerick

While other guides are focused on the leisure market, we have always taken the needs of business guests into account when making our selections, and we appreciate the value of business tourism also.

Just across the river from the main commercial heart of the city, this hotel has an unexpectedly quiet ambience in the spacious ground floor areas and takes full advantage of views of the city and distant hills from the upper floors. Although equally attractive for leisure breaks, it is especially well equipped for business guests - an executive floor has a dedicated lounge, in-room work is well provided for and there’s cutting edge conference technology as well as numerous meeting rooms.

Off duty, business guests will all appreciate the Health Club, with pool, gym and beauty therapy rooms for both men and women among the facilities - and dining in should be no hardship, as the kitchen team takes pride in local provenance and works hard to ensure an above-average hotel restaurant experience.

Like Derry, where a wonderful transformation has taken place this year, the perception of Limerick is changing fast - and a stay at this pleasant modern hotel will show you a different view of the city.
