Five-star Cashel Palace Hotel opens in Co Tipperary

The five-star Cashel Palace Hotel in Co Tipperary has opened following a four-year restoration project.

The Relais & Châteaux hotel, which formerly housed the archbishops of Cashel, features 42 rooms, nine suites, three acres of gardens and a private pathway to the Rock of Cashel.

Central to the Cashel Palace Hotel’s offering is its spa, which has a heated 17-metre pool that includes five metres outdoors. It also has hot and cold experience showers, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

Four treatment rooms include three individual rooms and one double treatment room. Each room has its own private shower, while the double treatment room has a double shower steam room and changing area.

The Spa at Cashel Palace Hotel has partnered with three different brands to create its menu. Skin By Olga will offer bespoke treatments, tailored for individual clients. Olga Kochlewska, who runs her own clinic in Donnybrook in Dublin, is known for combining products with technologies to create personalised facials.

Irish brand Voya will offer organic seaweed treatments. The company, which was founded by Mark and Kira Walton in Co Sligo, uses botanical ingredients and aromatherapy oils, combined with certified organic seaweed that is harvested by hand.. Meanwhile, Bamford offers specially curated treatments that promise to introduce clients to a ‘way of life.’
