A member of the Trigon Hotels group – which includes the iconic Metropole Hotel in Cork's Victorian Quarter – this stylish modern Cork hotels very handily located, close to the terminal. Ideal for a first or last night's stay, it's also a useful meeting place and is well equipped for business guests, with amenities including free WiFi and complimentary shuttle to and from the airport 24 hours a day.
It aims to provide a tranquil haven for travellers amid the hustle and bustle of a busy airport; its success can be judged by its popularity with a discerning local clientèle as well as travellers passing through.
Rooms have all the facilities needed by business travellers (voicemail, fax/modem lines, desk space and TV with in-house movie channel as well as radio, hair dryer, tea/coffee trays and trouser press) but its handy location, smart decor and good food have made it a popular short break destination as well.
The New Yorker Restaurant & Bar has established a reputation for good food and local produce is often given an international twist by a strong kitchen team. Food is served all day from 12 noon and the choice is extensive. Dishes often showcase local specialities - such as Cork’s Own Spiced Beef Salad with dressed leeks & shaved Hegarty’s cheddar cheese, for example. All this in a very comfortable venue, warm welcoming fires in winter and an inviting outdoor barbecue area in summer.
