The Rose Hotel

The Rose Hotel's 161 rooms are divided into Classic, Executive, Deluxe, Triple, Family Rooms, Junior Suites and a Master Suite, all finished to a high standard with space and natural light as priorities. Every room includes air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities, an electric safe and complimentary WiFi, covering the essentials without fuss. Classic rooms offer a comfortable, straightforward stay, while Executive and Deluxe options step up the space and finish. Family Rooms and Triple configurations work well for groups or those travelling with non-golfers, and the Junior and Master Suites add a layer of luxury for anyone wanting to treat a special trip.

Food & Drink

The Park Restaurant is the hotel's main dining room, serving breakfast each morning and a table d'hôte menu in the evening built around fresh, locally sourced produce. It's the kind of menu that reflects the region, well-executed and satisfying after a day on the course. For something more casual, Dott's Bar offers breakfast and all-day bar food in a relaxed setting, ideal for a quick bite or a longer session recapping the round with a drink in hand.

Leisure Facilities

After 36 holes in a Kerry breeze, the spa starts looking like a very smart idea. The Serenity Spa sits at the heart of the hotel and has picked up awards for good reason. Three bespoke treatment rooms provide the setting for a range of therapies delivered by experienced therapists who understand how to turn a treatment into a genuinely restorative experience. After walking the dunes at Ballybunion or battling the wind on Palmer's clifftop holes at Tralee, it's a welcome addition to the package. The spa is designed around comfort and well-being, offering a proper retreat without leaving the hotel.

For golfers, The Rose Hotel works because it combines a central Kerry location with the kind of facilities that make a golf trip more than just a series of tee times. You're close enough to Tralee and Ballybunion to play both without long drives, and back at the hotel you've got solid dining and a proper spot to unwind, so evenings feel like part of the trip, not just downtime between tee times.
