The newly refurbished (and as yet ungraded) Hotel Kilkenny is surrounded by picturesque landscaped gardens and just 5 minutes walk from medieval Kilkenny. The hotel has 138 en suite bedrooms. You can wander among the tranquility of the picturesque gardens, sip your drink in the relaxing Rosehill Bar or take tea in the conservatory. The hotel also has a 5* health & fitness club with 20m pool. Rosehill House which adjoins Hotel Kilkenny, was built in the early 1800's during which time extensive work was being carried out on Kilkenny Castle. The stone used in building Rosehill House came from the castle, and is a beautiful feature today.
