News for the Hospitality Executive |
Adare "This is such an honor for us at
Adare
Manor,” said Anita Higgins, general manager.
“To be named one of the world’s best hotels for a decade
is a wonderful
endorsement from the people most important to us ~ our customers. I’m extremely proud of Adare Manor and of our
hospitality team here, and how each day we strive to make a difference
in the
lives of our guests.” The former manor house was until
the 1980s the
country seat of the Earls of Dunraven.
The second Earl also created adjacent Adare Village in the
early 1800s.
Today Adare Village is one of Ireland’s most cherished and picturesque
destinations with its charming thatched-roof cottages originally built
to house
for workers of the estate. In 1982, the
Adare Manor was converted into a five star hotel, golf resort and spa. Adare Manor is a unique “Calendar
House,”
resplendent with architectural
references to the days of the week & year (7
stone columns in the reception hall, 365 stained glass windows), and
weeks of
the month & year (4 roof-top towers, 52 chimneys). The estate,
through
which flows the River Maigue, features an
exquisite French formal garden, the oldest Cedar of Lebanon tree in the
British
Isles dating to 1645, ancient stone monuments, and a spacious Victorian
Walled
Garden. Inside are sumptuously appointed
staterooms, bedroom chambers & suites, as well as the original
carved
oak-paneled dining room, the library containing books original to the
estate,
and the extraordinary Minstrel’s Gallery, one of Ireland’s grandest
ballrooms. About Travel+Leisure’s
