“This hotel strikes a sophisticated note in Waterford, appealing to both business and leisure travelers. I was particularly drawn to its blend of boutique charm, reflected in the Munster award for hotel design, and convenient access to the city's attractions. The dining, particularly Chez K's, seems to be a real highlight, blending Irish and European cuisine.”
