Located in the very heart of Kenmare town center, The Lansdowne Kenmare is a beautifully restored boutique townhouse dating back to 1790. Proudly part of the Irish Blue Book and Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it offers an exceptional blend of heritage, style and genuine Irish hospitality. Just 30 minutes from Killarney and 1 hour from Cork Airport, The Lansdowne is perfectly positioned as the ideal base for exploring the south west of Ireland. Kenmare, or Neidín meaning “Little Nest”, sits at the meeting point of Kerry and Cork and is the natural hub for touring the Ring of Kerry, the Beara Peninsula, Killarney National Park and the spectacular coastal routes of West Cork. From our front door, guests can step straight into one of Ireland’s most vibrant heritage towns, known for its award winning restaurants, traditional pubs, artisan shops and welcoming atmosphere. Visitors do not travel by county lines, they travel by experience, and Kenmare is where that journey comes together. The Lansdowne combines historic charm with modern comfort, offering elegant bedrooms, thoughtful amenities and a warm, personal service that ensures every stay feels special. Our aim is simple: that your first visit is the first of many. Enjoy relaxed dining and local flavors in An Nead Café, Shelburne Street Restaurant and Moeran’s Bar, or unwind after a day exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, walking in Killarney National Park, discovering hidden coves along the Beara Peninsula or touring West Cork. Whether you are seeking a boutique hotel in Kenmare town center, a luxury base near Killarney, or the perfect location to explore Kerry and Cork, The Lansdowne Kenmare places you at the center of it all.
