Park Hotel Kenmare overlooks a quiet sweep of Kenmare Bay with Victorian character, a destination spa and the privacy of a small country house. John Travolta is among the actors who have stayed here, drawn to a Kerry retreat whose owners made protecting famous guests part of the service.
Quentin Tarantino spent time over California Pinot Noir at Sheen Falls Lodge, where a conversation with the restaurant manager became part of the property's guest lore. The encounter was dining rather than an overnight stay, but its unhurried mood feels true to this County Kerry retreat. Woodland, waterfalls and Kenmare Bay create a setting made for long dinners and slower days.
