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.

Location was great, easy walk to numerous pubs and restaurants, hotel meeting areas were very nice, staff was excellent
Rooms were extremely hot, faucet and water didn’t work well, no iron/ironing board in room as indicated on website, stairs to rooms on first floor made luggage difficult to get to room without assistance.

Our home away from home in Ireland/Kenmare. Excellent location, excellent food in the bar and restaurant and best of all, amazing staff. The hotel is charming and welcoming and staff go out of their way to provide assistance as needed. Close to all the restaurants, pubs, stores and short drive to many site seeing opportunities in this part of Ireland (Rings of Kerry and Beara, north to Killarney, south east to Cork).
Bed could have been a wee bit softer but we notice that most beds where we stay in Ireland tend towards the firm side!

Perfect location for starting and ending The Ring of Kerry.
This was our 3rd time staying here. Last time was in 2022. The prices have gone up, breakfast is not included and the breakfast was not very good. The 3 of us ordered different items and we all were disappointed. Not sure what happened. Quality seems to be slipping. Our other morning we went somewhere else for breakfast. Staff is excellent!

Convenient to all shops and restaurants, very well maintained, and a beautiful bar.
The coffee maker was hard to use due to very little light in the area where it was located.
