Ireland's top 25 hotels for 2025 named by TripAdvisor

Ireland's 25 top-rated hotels have been revealed, according to TripAdvisor, who announced the honorees on this year's 'Best of the Best' list. The list is an annual round-up of the best hotels, taking in a high volume of 'above-and-beyond' reviews and opinions from within the online community over a 12-month period. The site says that each listed winner has passed a series of trust and safety standards, with fewer than one percent of its eight million listings being awarded 'Best of the Best'. In doing so, they aim to find properties that "check all the boxes (outstanding service, comfy rooms, the works)". Already one of the nation's most decorated holiday destinations, Adare Manor in Co Limerick topped the list, garnering praise for its picturesque setting, luxurious rooms, breakfast selection and range of on-site activities. "The grounds are stunning, and the hotel's design showcases exceptional attention to detail. The friendly, genuine staff provides top-notch service, making your visit even more enjoyable", the editors write. Home to the Michelin-starred restaurant The Oak Room, and set to host the 2027 Ryder Cup, it's not surprising that the last few rooms for this year are coming in at over €1,400 each. Dublin's Herbert Park Hotel came in at no. 2, with reviews highlighting its cleanliness and comfort, polite staff and ideal location. The Merrion in Dublin's city centre rounded out the top 3, with reviews celebrating its "historical and artistic touches". "The hotel's elegant vibe, incredible art collection, and professional staff set it apart", they write.
