Celebrate The Festive Season in Killarney
The Magic of the Festive Season, in the Style of The Great Southern.
Christmas has always had a certain magic in Killarney. At Great Southern, we turn it up a little. Fires glow, glasses clink and the hotel comes alive with music, feasting and the unmistakable anticipation of the season.
Step outside and Killarney’s wild winter landscape is waiting. Step back in and the celebrations continue. Come for Christmas, stay for the good times.
Christmas, wrapped up beautifully.
Make Great Southern your home for three unforgettable nights, from Christmas Eve to St. Stephen’s Day. Expect Champagne, generous festive dining, live music, a visit from Santa and plenty of time to disappear into Killarney or settle in by the fire. Everything is taken care of. All that remains is to enjoy it.
Festive dining, both grand and intimate
Christmas tastes better when it is shared. Gather around the table for festive dining in Arbour brasserie, linger over seasonal Afternoon Tea or make a night of it with a celebration in Brownes and Fredericks. Great food, flowing conversation and just the right amount of indulgence.
Take the Christmas party off script.
Swap the predictable Christmas night out for something with a little more character. Bring the team together at Great Southern for festive dining, drinks and celebrations in surroundings made for a good time. From intimate gatherings to private parties in Fredericks, our team will help shape an occasion worth talking about long after Christmas.
Winter looks good on Killarney.
Wrap up and follow your instinct. Wander through the festive streets, breathe in the crisp air or venture into the raw beauty of Killarney National Park. Then return to Great Southern for glowing fires, festive drinks and another reason not to call it a night just yet. Christmas here moves at your pace.
